A '''''Uniform Display Case''''' is similar to a [[shadow box]] but with a uniform mounted inside for displaying uniform awards and decorations in a manner as close as possible to how they would appear on an actual uniform. |

They are typically presented to people that have served in uniform upon [[retirement]]. These display cases will usually contain the various [[medal]]s and [[award]]s a person has earned while serving in the [[Army]], [[Navy]], [[Air Force]], [[Marines]] as well as [[Police]] and [[Fire Departments]]. |

A '''Uniform Display Case''' is a platform for displaying [[Medals]], [[Awards]], [[Rank]], [[Badges]] and other Uniform Decorations on a [[uniform]] in a frame that enables the heroic individuals that have dedicated their lives protecting our country and our communities while serving in uniform to take pride in their accomplishments. |

What makes a ''Uniform Display Case'' different from a [[shadow box]] is that the “uniform” is mounted in a manner so that the sleeves, epaulettes and upper ¾ of the uniform are visible and the Awards and Decorations can be displayed similar to they would appear on an actual [[uniform]]. |
|||
The ''Uniform Display Case'' allows service members to proudly display their [[uniform]] with all their medals and awards in their home or office rather than letting them gather dust in a closet or drawer. |
