The silver star, indicating 5 subsequent awards, should be centered on the ribbon with a bronze star on either side. If on a medal the bronze stars should be above and beneath the silver star which should always be centered in the middle of the ribbon. If on the ribbon award, the bronze stars should be just to the right and left of the silver star.
up to 4, if five then star is silver in color. 1 silver star equals 5 bronze stars
Win 10 times for a bronze ribbon, 20 times for a silver ribbon, 30 times for a gold ribbon, 50 times for a platinum ribbon, 100 times for a diamond ribbon
The ribbon is likely that for the EAME (Europe Africa Middle East) Medal or the Pacific Medal, depending on which the soldier was in. The little silver star is a campaign star, meaning the soldier took part in one campaign in that Theater of Operations, as the campaigns were defined in War Department General Order Number 33 of 1945. The bronze arrowhead was awarded to troops who took part in an assault landing on enemy territory.
You wear the ribbon with one silver cluster and three bronze cluster.
you will wear the AAM ribbon with 4 bronze oak leaf clusters. The ribbon counts as 1 itself so when you wear 4 bronze clusters on it your wearing 5. then once you get 6 AAM's youll just have one silver since the ribbon counts as one so 5+1=6.
The Bronze Star Medal is an award presented for heroic or meritorious achievement or service not involving participation in aerial flight. The medal is suspended from a red ribbon with a narrow blue stripe down the middle of the ribbon. A Bronze BATTLE Star is worn upon the Campaign Ribbon of the Theater that the veteran served in. Each Bronze BATTLE Star indicates a campaign that the veteran participated in. When the veteran has earned five Bronze BATTLE Stars, the five are replaced by a single Silver BATTLE Star. My father served in six campaigns in the MTO & ETO, so on his ribbon there was a silver & a bronze campaign star. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com
You would wear one Army Achievement Ribbon with an oak leaf to indicate each subsequent award affixed on the ribbon, or the ribbon portion of the medal. This is correct. To specify, one would wear a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster for each subsequent ribbon awarded. The Silver Oak Leaf cluster would be used to show 5 subsequent awards. For example: One is awarded the Army Achievement Medal 11 separate times. Therefore one would wear The Army Achievement Ribbon with two Silver Oak Leaf Clusters.
You will wear 3 bronze oak leaves. You can wear up to 4 bronze. If you are awarded again then 1 silver oak leaf will be worn, and no bronze till the next one.
