Graco Awards is the Nation's premier medals manufacturer.
Made in the USA, Graco produces the Nation's most prestigious awards, which are of
the highest quality, including medals for the Department of Defense, Federal Agencies,
State National Guard, ROTC, and the Public Safety Sector.
|
Graco Awards began over 25 years ago as a result of the State National Guard not having an adequate source for their medals and service ribbons. Meeting this apparent, but difficult to fill, need, Graco has grown its manufacturing capabilities to include working with almost every Government Agency. Some of the medals Graco produces are specific Agency secrets and will never be seen in public. There is a high degree of trust and responsibility place on Graco for these sensitive awards. If the Government trusts us - you can trust us.

Department of Defense medals are governed by the Institute of Heraldry, which is an Army Agency located at Ft Belvoir, Virginia. Graco has been authorized by IOH to manufacture DOD medals under an assigned Hallmark since 1988. Only through rigorous testing and adherence to strict regulations can a company achieve and receive this authorized Hallmark. Each DOD medal, including any new medal has to be inspected and approved by IOH prior to manufacturing the medal for wholesale or retail sales. This is important since the Department of Defense and Congress authorized the sale of DOD medals to the public with the exception of protected medals like the Medal of Honor, Medal of Freedom, and the 9/11 medals for Heroism and Valor. Additionally, for DOD medals, the Defense Supply Center also has its own approval process for Government contracts. This process is the First Article Submittal System which is also exacting. Graco manufactures every type of Department of Defense medal; starting with the Medal of Honor, including the Silver Star, the Purple Heart all the way down the list to the newest campaign medals, service ribbons, lapel pins, and badges. Since these items fall under the "Made in America Act", Graco has full capability of manufacturing every medal at its facility in Tomball, Texas where the company makes over one million parts per month. We are proud to serve the folks that are fighting to protect our freedom in this way.

Requests for the issuance or replacement of military service medals, decorations, and awards should be directed to the specific branch of the military in which the veteran served. However, for Air Force (including Army Air Corps) and Army personnel, the National Personnel Records Center will verify the awards to which a veteran is entitled and forward the request with the verification to the appropriate service department for issuance of the medals.
