A campaign ribbon is a military decoration awarded to service members to signify participation in a specific military campaign or operation. These ribbons are typically worn on the uniform and reflect the duration and nature of the service rendered during that campaign. They can vary by country and branch of service, often featuring distinct colors and designs to represent different missions or theaters of operation. Campaign ribbons serve as a visual representation of a service member's experiences and contributions in the field.
They go by the "Campaign Ribbon." Normally, no ribbon no membership.

The ribbon often included patriotic symbols, reinforcing the idea of unity and national identity during a time of division.
Battle stars indicate campaign battles
The Campaign ribbons are issued for service in a specific region. Since there were multiple campaigns in a region, the campaign ribbon could be earned for each campaign. For example, if a soldier served in the Normany Campaign and then in the German campaign, he would be credited with two Europe-Middle East Campaign ribbons. A bronze Star "device" was worn after the 1st campaign was awarded.
The ribbon is the "Europe, Africa, Middle East" for service in that theater of operations. The one bronze star signifies that the recipient was credited with participating in one campaign in that theater.
