The stars denote that the recipient has received the award more than once. For example, if a Marine has a Navy Achievement Medal/Ribbon with 2 bronze stars on it, the Marine has been awarded the Navy Achivement Medal 3 times. (The first would be represented by the initial medal/ribbon, the second would be the ribbon with one star, the third would be the ribbon with two stars.)

Actually, you have the original award (medal/ribbon) and each star represents a second, third award, etc.

∙ 13y agoStars are a way of showing how much power you have as a general in the military. I don't know about ribbons though.
The answer to the question is that a star on a medal ribbon means that the holder has been awarded that medal twice, and two stars means thrice (Purple Heart for example).
