    Very Cool Josh, I am hoping to do the same thing for my Grandpa. How long did it take to get the medals?

    Thank you every one! I will be ordering the case for them soon, and will post pics as soon as they are mounted.

    Vet76- I sent the request in mid September and the Medals Arrived on December 27th.
