Robert's idea of a frame to slide the riker into is pretty good. I do like that! Attached at the bottom is a pic of the demise of my riker mounts. 
(These were 2" rikers, incidentally.)
This next pic down is of the 3/4" riker holding a Homeland 3rd, with no foam in the mount, just the mount and medal. I tried to get a pic of the mount "bowing", but I couldn't do it with one hand!
This final pic is of a Guards badge in my collection. I don't really consider them to be "awards", thus the reason I didn't include them in my previous post.
The star doesn't rest fully on the glass, it actually rests on the area between the star and banner (hopefully you can see that in the pic.)
