After I enlisted in the Navy in 1974, I served with several Navy Seabees who had fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Service members who retired after 30 years during that time would have served in all three wars.

The motto of Republic of Vietnam Navy is 'Tổ Quốc-Đại Dương'.
Navy Cross is the Navy's equivalent to the Army's Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. It is usually only awarded to Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard personel, but can be awarded to any member of the US Military. It is the second highest award for valor a serviceman can receive. Essentially its a step down from the Congressional Medal of Honor. Note: Not really a big deal, but it is referred to as a medal, not a ribbon.
No - the Fleet Marine Force Service Ribbon was established in 1984 by then Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, to be worn by eligible Navy personnel serving with the Marines between 1984 and 2006. The FMF Ribbon is a separate device altogether from the FMFW, and as such has different eligibility requirements. If you meet eligibility requirements for both devices (you rate and are eligible to wear the FMFW device, and also rate and are eligible to wear the ribbon), then yes, you can wear both. Otherwise, just rating the FMFW device does not automatically entitle you to wear the FMF ribbon.
The maroon ribbon is the Navy Good Conduct Medal; the ribbon is worn in place of the medal when full formal dress requiring medals/ribbons aren't required. The Secretary of the Navy recently authorized the merging of the Marine Corps Good Conduct with the Navy's - the Navy Good Conduct will be authorized for wear by both Sailors and Marines.
