The presence of a medal in a person shows that his merits have been noticed and adequately rewarded. But soon the person awarded the question arises: how to hang medals correctly? There are many rules for attaching medals to ceremonial clothes, and even relevant legislation has been developed for military personnel.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not wear medals and orders on weekdays. The norms of etiquette establish that they can be worn only on holidays and at especially solemn events. Also put up badges when attending official events that are related to your job or job. For example, medals are worn for sporting events if you are a prize-winner of some kind of competition. Use a special eyelet with a hole to attach the medal to clothing. You can also order a decorative order bar from the engraving workshop.
Step 2
Wear medals or orders of government awards according to the rules of the hierarchical sequence. If you have state awards of both the Russian Federation and the USSR, then hang orders and medals of the Russian Federation on top, below are the awards of the USSR. If there are awards received from foreign countries, attach them under the domestic ones. Place the Order of Merit for the Fatherland 1 degree on the ribbon that is passed over the right shoulder. Wear the insignia of the same order of the 2nd and 3rd degrees on a neck ribbon. If you have a star of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, then hang the insignia of special distinction on the lapel of your jacket. Wear the Order of Courage on the left side of your chest, with orders of military merit hanging next to it. Also, on the left under them, place the Order of Friendship and the Order of Honor.
Step 3
Hang medals and orders for dress uniforms only at ceremonial and official events, as well as parades, if you are a soldier. Place the Medal "For Merit to the Fatherland" on the left side of the chest after all orders. If there is a medal of 1 and 2 steps, then wear only the highest rank medal. Behind her, also hang the medal "For Courage" on the chest on the left. After it, attach the medal "For the salvation of the lost." Place the medal of Suvorov, Ushakov and Nesterov and the medal "For excellence in guarding the state border" after the above awards.
