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.
