It depends on how many stars, what kind of stars, and how many ribbons you have...In general...stars are worn in the middle of the medal. If you have more than one star, place them horizontally and in the middle of the medal in order of precedence. (examples: 2 stars the center line will be in between the two stars, 3 stars the center line will be the middle star).Note: stars are placed with 1 point up and 2 points downIf you have overlapping medals, just push stars to the left until all are visible. If they cannot all be seen when placed horizontally, you can place them vertically.hope this helpsSemper Fi
