Established in 2004, McChord's Ribbon Rack Builder has become the go-to resource for CAP members across the nation. It just passed a mini-milestone having now assembled more than 1.3 million ribbon racks!

In addition to building your ribbon current rack, showing the proper arrangements for miniature medals, or planning ahead for your future accomplishments, the McChord Rack Builder also has a historical page showing awards and ribbon designs from CAP's past. You can choose any year from CAP's history to see what awards were available back then... a great tool for CAP Historians looking to create historically accurate uniforms for display.

It is de facto... What's funny to me is that when someone orders their ribbons or medals mounted by Vanguard, the folks at Vanguard input everything into the McChord Rack Builder and take a screenshot so their people know how to assemble everything.

Vanguard asked me about building (pro bono) a special page for them that would include pricing information.  I'm still working on it but it's going slowly.

And that's Vanguard the company in a nutshell.

Does Vanguard actually mount their own ribbon racks? I had emailed them for pricing on mini medals a while back and was told they sent the medals to Ultrathin for mounting, so I wasn't sure about the ribbons.

So if they use the McChord rackbuilder and then use ultrathin for mounting, I have to ask....


CAP: What would you say you do here?

Vanguard: Well look, I already told you! I deal with the Cadet and Senior Member customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

I had them mount my minis and they came back mounted on cardboard backing from USAMM
