Medals of America | Military Service Awards and Apparel It Started With A Shadow Box In 1976 Medals of America was created by Army Veteran Colonel Frank Foster and his wife Linda Foster; inspired by the hunt for his father's WWII medals and contact with the French Government for a French Croix De Guerre Medal. After much request from their friends for shadow boxes for their Veteran relatives, Frank and Linda Foster were in business. American Made Products Medals of America has expanded from a closet, to a room, to a basement, to a small office, and continued to grow until we reached an 80,000 square foot facility where we house our products, equipment, e-commerce and print teams, call-center, wholesale department, and shipping and receiving docks. Made by Veterans for Veterans We follow all ribbon, medal, and badge guidelines set by the Institute of Heraldry to ensure our customers integrity and the quality of our products. Our integrity lies with upholding the honor and valor of our nation's veterans. To protect the integrity of our veterans and company, our medals are protected by the Stolen Valor Act. Product Selection We started with a focus on perfecting the shadow box that soon developed into designing t-shirts, making hats, stamping dog tags, curating a collection of tactical and range gear, expanding our line of challenge coins, patches, clothing, and more.
