Need help creating a shadow box to display military medals.?

Question

I recently had my Grandfather's WW2- era military medals passed down to me, including purple heart, bronze star, presidential unit citation, and several other medals/ribbons. I am trying to create a shadow-box type display case. I need advice on:

1) The proper way to display the medals (correct order), if there is one. (A URL would be nice.)

2) An effective way to attach the badges, and other ribbons (without pins) to the velvet background.
