What was the oak leaf medal giving for?
The Oak Leaf Cluster is not a medal. It is a small pin in the shape of an oak leaf that is issued for the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) time you receive a medal. If you earned a Purple Heart Medal for being wounded, then the second time you would be issued "an oak leaf to the Purple Heart Medal". Campaign Medals were issued for service in a region for a specific time. Then if you continued serving and were in another campaign, you would receive a 2nd Oak Leaf to the Campaign Medal. Thus the Normandy landing was one campaign. Then if you fought into Germany there was one for that.
How many Silver Stars were awarded in World War 2?
The Silver Star Medal was awarded only for heroism in combat. In the medal hierarchy it ranks after the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross (or Navy Cross) which are also only given for heroism in combat and before the Bronze Star Medal (either a heroism or meritorius service medal). This is a high honor for any serviceman. Occasionally people will ask this question because they have a campaign ribbon or other decoration with small 1/4 inch stars attached that are either bronze or silver in color. These stars indicate the number of times the decoration was awarded or the number of campaign's the recipient participated in. A bronze star equals 1 and a silver star equals five bronze stars
Do the ribbons on war medals mean something or does it matter what color goes with what medal?
It matters very much what ribbon goes with what medal. Not only the color, but the arrangement of stripes. When the medal is first presented in ceremony, it is hung from a long strip of the appropriate ribbon around the recipient's neck. On the US Army formal dress blue uniform (the Army version of a tuxedo) the full medals are worn , suspended by small strips of the matching ribbon. On the US army daily dress uniform (calss A greens) the medals are represented only by small bars of ribbon arranged in strips 3 ribbons wide. This is what is commonly called "fruit salad." I presume the other braches of service use a similar system, but am not qualified to state absolutely.
