VIETNAM SERVICE RIBBON STAMPS
Bob Fritsch writes: "In response to the STAMPS PICTURING
MEDALS topic blurb, let us not forget the Vietnam Service
Ribbon of 1979 (Scott 1802). While not a medal, it is a
military decoration and deserves recognition as such.Decorations can come as medals, which have an associated
ribbon for the everyday uniforms; and ribbons, which are
recognitions for service rendered, and are worn as "lesser" or
lower rank awards on the "fruit salad" ribbon set. In the Navy
on formal occasions when medals are to be worn, the actual
medals are worn on the left breast of the uniform, while the
ribbons are worn on the right breast. I do not know how the
other services wear theirs."- 2004-03-14
