Service Ribbons

Service ribbons, medals, and attachments are all available at AlansMedals.com. Alan has been in business for about ten years and with his increasingly popular site he is able to offer more medals and ribbons to those looking for something in particular as well as those who aren't sure what they want. Alan gets real U.S. and some Foreign Service medals and ribbons from suppliers and then sells them to you at a reasonable price. In fact, many of his customers have let him know that he has the best prices of any source they have found. He also has a wide variety from which you can choose with most of them in stock.

Foreign Service ribbons include the Belgian WWII Service ribbon, and the French Croix De Guerre. There is also a Korea War Service ribbon and one celebrating the Liberation of Kuwait including a Kuwait and a Saudi Arabia design. A Multinational Forces and Observer ribbon will make an intriguing addition to any collection. The RVN Campaign W/1960 Bar Service Ribbon is an unusual design while the United Nation Observer is a classic design that you will want to have in your collection of Service ribbons.

Service ribbons include the bars that represent a variety of occasions for the different branches of the U.S. Services. From the Air Force to the Yanteez Service, you will find a wide variety of Service ribbons that will each represent a unique and specific part of the history of the service. The three red stripes on a yellow background with green on the ends is the bar that represents Vietnam Service. A multicolor striped bar is specific for WWII Victory. You may have bars that you have gotten from your ancestors and aren't sure what they represent. When you visit AlansMedals.com, you can find out what many of the bars represented.

Service ribbons are similar and also vary enough so that each has its own specific connotation. The World War I Victory and World War II Victory Service ribbons are very similar with just enough variation to add distinction between the wars during which they were issued. There is a ribbon that specifically marks the Woman' Army Corps Medal and one for an RVN Wound. You really have to go to the website and look at the different Service ribbons that are available and what they represent to get a true appreciation for the part that the persons who were issued these medals played in the history of our country and that of others.

If you need to find Service ribbons to replace those that were issued to you or someone else or want to build a diverse and interesting collection of war service medals, go to AlansMedals.com and begin your search. In addition to the Service ribbons, you will also find the Ribbon Bar Mounts needed to display and complete the medals. If you are looking for something you don't see, just e-mail Alan and he will try to find it for you through his suppliers.
