What I am doing for veterans
I do it PRO BONO - out of respect to veterans - some of them passed away and I did it for the family. When I heard about a veteran or veteran's family - I arrange the awards in a frame and give it to them.
Here is an example:

Tal,
Great job! I take it that his original awards were taken from him at the Soviet customs, and these are replacements, right? This is so unfair! Alexei |

Those are the original medals of this veteran. Some were missing, some he got here in Israel. He died last year and I did it for his daughter, who works with my wife.

Tal,
I saw a missing combat Service, so I figured they must have taken his original awards when he left Russia, and the poor guy had to buy replacements. Alexei |

Respect!
Tal,
That is a very honourable job you are doing and deserves my greatest respect! Eddie.
