Best Answer

Campaign Medals were issued for different wars or campaigns. These campaign medals are awarded for anyone who served during a war and does not mean they were directly in combat. During WW2, they had campaign ribbons for Europe and Mediterranean area and one for the Pacific area. There is a Korean War Medal and a Viet Nam War medal as well as ones dating back to earlier wars and actions. So many different ones were issued and the soldier's records would identify the campaign medal that he earned.
