This is an example of the Army Commendation Metal with the signed award document. The Army Commendation Metal is awarded to servicemen/servicewomen who have demonstrated sustained acts of heroism or meritorious service. This metal is presented for actions that require valor in direct contact with an enemy. The Army Commendation Metal award document and the medal are framed together in a black wood frame. The Army Commendation Metal is framed with a design that uses triple acid-free/conservation grade mats. The mat colors match the colors in both the metal and the award. The medal is mounted to a white mat. The award document is mounted to an acid-free reversible foamboard. Our signature V-groove surrounds the award document and the medal. We frame the Army Commendation Metal using conservation grade materials and techniques. This includes using 99% UV protective glass. There are a number of options available for framing the Army Commendation Metal. Some of these options include different mat colors and different style frame profiles. Options are also available that include placing additional objects inside the frame with the medal.
