Is there a ribbon for honorable discharge?

Answer 1

There is a commemorative medal and ribbon.

Since World War II the Armed Forces have been involved in numerous military operations, beginning with the Korean War and extending up the war against Iraq. Although a variety of campaign and service medals have been authorized for these wars and operations, the Defense Department has not established an honorable service emblem for discharged veterans. The Honorable Service Medal was created to fill this void.

This medal is not issued or authorized by the Federal Government, nor can it be worn on the active duty uniform. However, it has been adopted by the Military Order of Foreign Wars and is offered as a purely civilian device to commemorate honorable military service. Its central motif is the famous "ruptured duck," adapted from the Honorable Service lapel pin used during the interim period between the First World War and following the Second World War. The cross represents the military services: the Army, Navy (including the Coast Guard), the Marine Corps and the Air Force. The laurel wreath represents honor and achievement. The colors of the ribbon are suggested by the American Defense Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal. The blue, white and red are the national colors, and the gold represents the golden opportunity of American youth to serve the National Colors.
