The presence of a medal in a person shows that his merits have been noticed and adequately rewarded. But soon the awarded question arises: how to hang up medals? There are many rules for attaching medals on formal clothes, and even the relevant legislation has been developed for military personnel.
Instruction manual
1
Do not wear medals or orders on weekdays. The norms of etiquette establish that they can be worn only on holidays and at especially solemn events. Also hang award badges when attending official events that are related to your position or job. For example, medals are worn for sporting events if you are a winner of a competition. Use a special eyelet with a hole to attach the medal to the clothes. You can also order a decorative order bar in the engraving workshop.

Wear medals or orders of government awards according to the rules of hierarchical sequence. If you have state awards of both the Russian Federation and the USSR, then hang the orders and medals of the Russian Federation on top, the USSR awards follow. If there are awards received from foreign countries, fasten them under domestic ones. Place the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, 1st Degree, on the ribbon that is threaded through the right shoulder. The signs of the same order of 2 and 3 degrees are worn on a neck tape. If you have a star of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, then hang special insignia on the lapel of a tunic. Wear the Order of Courage on the left side of the chest, next to it hang orders for military merit. Also, under the left, place the Order of Friendship and the Order of Honor.

Hang on medals and orders to dress uniform only at ceremonial and official events, as well as shows 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-ranking medal. Following her also on the left chest hang the medal "For Courage". After it, fasten the medal "For the salvation of the lost." The medal of Suvorov, Ushakov and Nesterov and the medal "For the difference in the protection of the state border" should be placed after the above awards.
