Of course. This looks like a unit display given the time span. Are there any units that received all of these?

What I'm getting at is the first date of issuance of that meda/ribbon, another words, what entity (Congress, each service) first made that available to adorn on the uniform.

Because this is a display I'm working on with no particular service directed to, my purpose is chronological.

I can look all that up, but this is a contest with a prize.

You actually bring up something interesting that I found while doing my look. For several of these awards, the first date of issuance precedes authorization, notably on the Pearl Harbor related awards.

Nice try but quite a bit off mark.

Had me confused, could not find one ribbon on my image you had on yours, got it squared away now.

The circled ribbon should be the one on the right.

Just a FYI, winner will receive this, inert 30mm gatling gun round.

Did you use a specific service?

I interpreted abbreviation incorrectly from my own list

[ZipZap]

That ribbon did mess up the whole center section.

No. What I'm seeking is the date the award was eligible for distribution to any of the service members that are entitled. A chronological order of when the medal/ribbon was first introduced, not to be confused with precedence.

I already have that info, trying to establish if anyone else has, kind of a hunt, seek, and research for the answers.
I will display that at the end of the contest.

I meant for the rack.

None are service specific, members of all services would be eligible if served in those particular arenas.

Sorry, no winner, kudos to ZipZap for trying.
Ribbons displayed in order of issuance.

Those displayed are not all inclusive, just the one's I need for my display.
