U.S.Army Decorations, Service Medals, Unit Awards and Ribbon Only awards, Whats the difference??

[@sgt.lindaleeelofson5943]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I could not find ANYONE to tell me how to wear my 1 decoration, 2 medals & 3 ribbon only awards..as a civilian, it sounds like I can wear either all 6 ribbons OR the 3 medals, on the left...I was contemplating the 3 ribbons, with 3 medals below(but they'd be out of order)can't hang them over the ribbons either...so NOW its a hard decision but, what a great video & your book looks like one of a kind AMAZING...Thank you for your service & sacrifices...also, for the answer I needed! God Bless...ALWAYS GRATEFUL❤🇺🇲Best Wishes on your book!

This channel needs more attention it helped me alot.

...and you could write an encyclopedia on the Air Medal. Each branch has its own regulations for multiple awards that are dependent on when and where it was served. It is a maze of sometimes confusing regulations.

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

Yes, I do like the way the Air Force now handles and restricts its award.

[@ShockerTopper]

My Father fought in Vietnam in the 1st Calvary and then the 11th Armored Calvary Regiment. I never thought the Unit Citations were that big a deal, but I don't think everyone has a VUA/PUC to go along with their Vietnam Gallantry Cross w/Palm.

[@avitalalef9947]

Thank you! That was very helpful and informative

[@terrydouglas5008]

Any service person or survivor can write the service and get a reissue of medals and ribbons. If you have foreign decorations and want replacements you have to buy them.

Where is the combat infantry badge

[@kevintaylor8234]

My grandfather was a medic in the 39th infantry division in WW2 received two bronze stars and three purple hearts, would that explain the oak leaf cluster? Any help would be appreciated,thank you.......

[@kevinbalsdon4705]

Three more unbelievable brave men you could add to the list are : David Hackworth Robert Howard and Roy Benivideo

It is simple to buy military medals online.

[@Jarod_Schultz]

I haven't been in the Army since 2005. I recently ordered 2 metals online because I qualified to have them. But it's been so long since I got out of the Army that I forgot the small details about where they go on the jacket. I want to build a display case to display my uniform, and I want to have my metals on the jacket. I tried finding info online, but couldn't find anything. I typed in "Army jacket", but none of them are wearing the kind of metals in this video. If anyone knows where the metals are displayed on the jacket, let me know. What is the distance between them?

[@maxsmith695]

The military calls them medals.

[@elrobo3568]

Why don't you mention the Soldiers medal? I am an awardee of this and feel that nobody, even the military knows about this.

[@multitieredinvestor183]

I also was awarded the Soldiers Medal.

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

The Soldier's medal is a big deal. You have every right to be very proud of it. It is awarded for heroism while not in an actual conflict. It comes after the DFC and before the Bronze Star. I will try to do a video on the different Armed Forces versions.

[@multitieredinvestor183]

@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 Two of us were awarded the Soldiers Medal for same event. A soldier in my company (I assumed command the day before) started shooting up the company area in Vietnam. He killed a dog and threatened several other soldiers. His NCO, a SSG and I talked him after being held captive into allowing the medics help him. He was taken away ny MP’s and never saw him again. Late December 1969. Tay Ninh RVN.

[@garycooper8687]

We know if we see it> Congrats from a fellow veteran

[@crazytrain03]

Allons!

[@southernshop8424]

Thank you Sir

[@bobsidoodledandy808]

very informative...

[@wesabiboon1689]

Did military get awarded and money too when they want to retire

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

yes, usually there’s an end of tour award for retirement, and then retirement pay based on the number of years of service. Oh yes, and medical care.

[@rufinasoriano5028]

How about the world war ll medals issued for the US veteran (Philippines)?

[@eshelly4205]

We have a jacket from a relative from WW2 we can identify every device medal and ribbon except one. Can you help me? I can send a photo if necessary

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

Sorry, i have been out with Covid. Send a picture, we should be able to ID for you.

[@johnmclev5679]

There is no diference The diference is only bettween serevices

[@G1CAAAAEO]

Whatever you'll do in the Armed Forces, you will receive a medal.

[@MS46Z]

So are the Army Achievement and Army Commendation medals considered decorations?

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

yes, very much so.

[@jamescherney5874]

Being a Navy veteran it seems like the Army not only has more decorations and medals than the Navy, they seem to award them much more frequently. It seems like every Army guy has a chest full of medals. It wasn't like that in the Navy.

[@georgehays4900]

Great stuff. Thank you

[@carlosgerena3819]

Do you have emblem for institute military

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

[@mannatkids]

[@LordHizaki]

[@alejandrogonzales7022]

12:38 hahahahahahaha! TMFMS!!! (All in good fun. Nothing wrong with being proud of your service)

[@milesboehmer9969]

And if you serve during what people call the Cold War the veterans affairs doesn’t recognize your service due to no combat service even with 6 years of service .

[@SandfordSmythe]

Depends

[@patricklamshear1806]

[@southernshop8424]

Of course you're being negative, typical brit

[@DS-wo8wr]
