A kit for a support assembly for mounting a ribbon, medal or other indicia on an outside surface of a fabric layer, such as a shirt or uniform including a mountable ribbon, medal or like decorative indicia;

• a holding structure having said decorative indicia on a forward surface thereof;
• one or more rearwardly projecting retainer spikes of a given length fixed to a back surface thereof for penetrating through the fabric layer;
• one or more fasteners for retaining respective ends of the spike on an inside surface of the fabric layer, at least one of the fasteners having a forward surface facing in a forward direction;
• a spacer having a central hole for receiving a spike therethrough;
• an adhesive layer on the rear surface thereof adapted for being adhered to the forward surface of the corresponding fastener to form an integral unit therewith;
• and a release tape or layer applied on said adhesive layer and being removable therefrom for adhering said spacer to the fastener, said spacer having a thickness in relation to the length of the spike sufficient to suitably abut against the fabric layer and prevent the ribbon, medal, or other indicia from sagging thereon when the end of the spike is retained by the fastener on the inside surface of the fabric layer.
