Honorable Discharge Service Commemorative ribbon bar

One Attractive ribbon bar in excellent condition. The United States Government, State Governments, Veterans Organizations, private mints and individuals have a long tradition of striking commemorative medals or ribbons to recognize and honor specific military victories, historical events and military service to our great Republic. Until the 20th Century the United States did not issue military service medals or ribbons recognizing service by veterans in the different wars, battles, campaigns or other significant military events. Commemorative medals and ribbons reflect typical American ingenuity and spirit, where local government, veterans associations and private leadership step forward to facilitate honoring service and deeds the federal government fails to recognize.
