PCS AWARDS | LOMBARD DESIGN
Family-Owned Military Awards & Plaques
For over 15 years, the Lombard name has been synonymous with quality military awards in the Fort Campbell community. What began as a small embroidery shop in 2007 has evolved into a specialized plaque and memorial bracelet workshop under the ownership of Leigh Fellner.

Matthew Lombard
Military Award Expert & Consultant
15+ years of military award expertise ensuring every piece meets the highest standards.
“Our family commitment to military service runs deep. From Leigh’s stewardship to the expertise Matthew developed over 15+ years serving Fort Campbell, every plaque and bracelet carries that combined dedication to honoring service with craftsmanship that endures.”
Continuity of Craftsmanship
While ownership transitioned in 2024, the standards established by Matthew Lombard’s decade-plus of military award expertise remain at our core. Every piece is created with the same attention to detail that built our reputation.
What We Do Today
Focused exclusively on custom wood plaques and memorial bracelets, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. Whether you’re recognizing a PCS, celebrating an ETS, or honoring a fallen comrade, we create pieces that carry meaning.
The quality you’ve come to expect continues under the ownership of Leigh Fellner.
Our Evolution: Capabilities & Transitions
Foundational Years
Started with embroidery services for Fort Campbell units with two embroidery machines and a 24″x36″ Epilog laser for fabric appliqués and military stencil production.
Capabilities: Embroidery, laser cutting, military stencils for Iraq/Afghanistan deployments
Expansion Phase
Added 64″ large format printing for banners and decals. Expanded into T-shirt printing with heat transfers and 3D graphics. Moved to 12,000 sq ft industrial facility and rebranded as Lombard Design.
Capabilities: Large format printing, T-shirt production, 3D graphics, vinyl installation
Industrial Fabrication
Added 16,000 lb CNC router for wood/foam carving, 8’x5′ plasma cutter for metal fabrication, and computerized mat cutting for professional framing. Specialized in military PCS/ETS awards with guidons, flags, and challenge coins.
Capabilities: CNC routing, plasma cutting, metal fabrication, professional framing, military award assembly
Strategic Refinement
Transitioned to home-based workshop focusing exclusively on military plaques and memorial bracelets. Eliminated industrial overhead to invest entirely in craftsmanship.
Capabilities: Specialized plaque production, memorial bracelets, focused military tribute work
Transition & Continuity
On June 1, 2023, operations were paused when Matthew Lombard was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain cancer—Type III Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma. This incurable diagnosis required immediate and intensive medical intervention.
Medical Journey: Treatment included a craniotomy (brain surgery) followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy protocols that spanned many months. The recovery process was extensive and ongoing, requiring significant time away from daily operations.
During this period, the business was placed on hold to focus entirely on health and recovery. The extended treatment timeline meant that normal operations could not resume as originally planned.
In 2024, to ensure the continuity of the business and maintain the quality standards established over 15+ years, ownership formally transitioned to Leigh Fellner. Matthew Lombard now serves as a part-time consultant, providing the specialized military award expertise that built our reputation while continuing to focus on health and family priorities.
Current Structure: Family-owned by Leigh Fellner, operated with the craftsmanship standards established over 15+ years of military award expertise
Workshop Philosophy
By operating as a focused workshop rather than an industrial facility, we achieve what larger operations cannot:
- Direct attention to every detail of each piece
- Flexibility to accommodate unique requests and timelines
- Personal connection to the stories behind each tribute
- Investment in craftsmanship over overhead
What we create may be measured in inches, but its impact is measured in generations.
Our Commitment
To honor service with craftsmanship that endures—creating meaningful tributes that celebrate transitions, preserve legacies, and carry the weight of the stories they represent.
