Lombard Design PCS Awards LLC

After much thought,we're stepping back.

Open orders will be completed in a timely manner.For all inquiries, please use the form below.

We've decided to suspend operations at PCS Awards LLC | Lombard Design for the foreseeable future. This isn't sudden — it's the result of a conversation we've been having for many months, and it feels like the right moment.

Since Matthew's 2023 diagnosis, our arrangement has been a careful one: he stayed on as a part-time consultant while I carried the shop forward. That worked beautifully for a season. Matthew has now wound down those consulting duties, and at this point in my own life, I'd rather not carry the workload alone. My health is fine; my energy for running a business is not what it once was, and I'm ready for a quieter season.

We may reopen one day. We may not. We're leaving that open.

With deep gratitude for the trust you've placed in us,

Leigh Fellner

Owner, PCS Awards LLC | Lombard Design

Family & Expertise

The two people behind every piece.

Leigh Fellner

Owner & Family Steward

Ensuring continuity of quality and family values in every piece we created.

Matthew Lombard

Military Award Expert & Consultant

Fifteen-plus years of military award expertise — ensuring every piece met 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."

Our Evolution

Capabilities and transitions, year by year.

2007–2010

Foundational Years

Started with embroidery services for Fort Campbell units, working from two embroidery machines and a 24"×36" Epilog laser for fabric appliqués and military stencil production.

Capabilities: Embroidery, laser cutting, military stencils for Iraq and Afghanistan deployments.

2011–2014

Expansion Phase

Added 64" large-format printing for banners and decals. Expanded into T-shirt printing with heat transfers and 3D graphics. Moved into a 12,000 sq ft industrial facility and rebranded as Lombard Design.

Capabilities: Large-format printing, T-shirt production, 3D graphics, vinyl installation.

2015–2018

Industrial Fabrication

Added a 16,000 lb CNC router for wood and foam carving, an 8'×5' plasma cutter for metal fabrication, and computerized mat cutting for professional framing. Specialized in military PCS and ETS awards with guidons, flags, and challenge coins.

Capabilities: CNC routing, plasma cutting, metal fabrication, professional framing, military award assembly.

2019–2022

Strategic Refinement

Transitioned to a home-based workshop focused 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.

2023–2024

Transition & Continuity

On June 1, 2023, operations were paused when Matthew Lombard was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer — Type III Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma. The diagnosis required immediate, intensive medical intervention.

Medical journey: Treatment included a craniotomy followed by radiation and chemotherapy protocols spanning many months. Recovery 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 continuity of the business and maintain the quality standards established over fifteen-plus years, ownership formally transitioned to Leigh Fellner. Matthew stepped into a part-time consulting role, providing the specialized military award expertise that built our reputation while focusing on health and family.

2025–2026

A Quiet Pause

Through 2025, Matthew's consulting involvement gradually wound down. By early 2026, after many months of conversation, we decided together that the right thing — for now, and possibly for good — was to set the workshop down.

Open orders will be completed in a timely manner. Email is the only remaining way to reach us. The door is not nailed shut, but it is closed for the foreseeable future.

Workshop Philosophy

By operating as a focused workshop rather than an industrial facility, we achieved what larger operations cannot:

"What we made 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.
