Please do not take the graphics to be 100% representative of their real-life counterparts. There are too many differences in computer monitors and their respective resolutions/color to create a perfect match for each existing ribbon/medal. Bear in mind that medal colors themselves fade during their time as well. Our artists have consulted sources in trying to recreate each piece but do not take their appearance on these pages as exact if trying to identify a rarer award. Please refer to this listing as a general identification of medals and ribbons for US military personnel.

We'll be adding many more ribbons/medals as time allows, as well as each respective description and criteria. Additionally, we'll begin to break down each award into respective historical categories as in "Vietnam War Medals" or "World War 2 Medals".
