- 1=The
5-star Marine Corps Brevet Medal ribbon came from Mel Wolf (of
Wolf-Brown)
-
in the 1940's and is not official.
- 2=A
new Coast Guard Medal was proposed, the C.G. approved this
ribbon;
the slash sheet was printed; vendors manufactured the ribbon, before
any
medals were ordered, the Coast Guard rejected the ribbon and went back
to searching for a new one.
GRACO
was one vendor who made the ribbon. They also made up some medals.
3=The
Army Medical ribbon was derived from the streamer and
inadvertently manufactured in ribbon form, it does not exist as
anything
but an error.

difference between the old and new versions of the Dewey (Manila Bay)
Medal was the sewn edge, NOT the height of the ribbon.
5=The
Bailey Medal was for good seamanship and is NOT a campaign medal.

U. S. COAST GUARD bar was affixed permanently to the
USCG Good Conduct Medal and is not a device, attachment or appurtenance

Nations Korean Service Medal and is also not a device, attachment or
appurtenance.

have copies of these Bars in my collection as seperate devices and this
is why they are included,
