The presentation of a medal is always a solemn and joyful event. However, a little later, the awardee is faced with the question - when and how to wear the medal? Is it worn every day or only on major holidays? How are medals attached, and how are they positioned on ceremonial clothes?
Instructions
Step 1
It is not customary to wear medals and orders on weekdays. According to etiquette norms, it is recommended to wear them on special solemn occasions and on holidays. You should not leave awards at home and when attending official events, especially those related to the work performed or the position held (for example, a sports event for prize winners of any competition).
Step 2
Particular attention should be paid to wearing government awards. If several medals or orders are put on at once, they must be located in a certain hierarchical sequence: - in the presence of state awards of the Russian Federation and the USSR, the first are placed in front of the orders and medals of the USSR. In the event that there are awards issued by foreign states, then such medals, signs and orders should be attached lower than domestic ones;
- the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree, is placed on a ribbon passing over the right shoulder of the awarded person, and the badge of the same Order II and III is attached to the neck ribbon;
- the order of Courage is supposed to be worn on the chest (left), and the order awarded for military merit is also attached there. Below them, it is supposed to strengthen the Order of Honor and the Order of Friendship.
Step 3
Servicemen attach awards to the dress uniform at reviews, solemn and official events as follows: - the medal "For Merit to the Fatherland" is located on the left side of the chest;
- the medal "For Courage" should also be worn on the chest on the left, it is located next to the medal "For Merit to the Fatherland";
- followed by the medal "For the salvation of the perished";
- after these awards are the medals of Suvorov, Nesterov and Ushakov and "For Distinction in the Protection of the State Border"
