For Families Who Have Medals but No Flag
Not every service member's family receives a burial flag, and not every collection of medals needs to be paired with one. This category covers display cases built specifically to hold medals, ribbon racks, and solid brass service medallions on their own — no flag insert, no flag-sized cutout.
What's Different From a Flag-and-Medal Combo Case
If you're looking to display a flag alongside medals, see our flag & medal combination cases category instead. The cases here are purpose-built around medal and medallion mounting — pins, hooks, or velvet-lined recesses sized for individual medals, dog tags, and ribbon bars, often with room for a name plate or small photo.
Solid Brass Medallions
A number of listings in this category are the medallions themselves rather than a case — solid brass service medallions representing each branch, sized to be added to any flag case that has a spot for one. These make an affordable add-on if you already own a plain flag case and want to personalize it with a branch emblem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these cases include the medals?
No — these are display cases and mounting hardware only. They're designed to hold medals, ribbons, and medallions your family already has.
Can I add a medallion to a flag case I already own?
Yes, in many cases. Several listings here are standalone brass medallions designed to be added to an existing case that has a mounting spot, rather than a full replacement case.
What's the difference between a medal case and a shadow box?
A medal or medallion case is typically a simpler, smaller display built around medals alone. A shadow box usually has multiple compartments for a flag, photos, medals, and other memorabilia together.
