US Army Ribbon and Medal Identification

John Sabato · 12-28-2006, 08:44 AM

Based on color banding scheme and his eligibility based on his service with the 45th Division I have identified the ribbon on the lower right as the American Campaign Medal (established 1942) for service of at least 30 days in the European theater of operations. The ribbon above it, as I have stated before was the Good Conduct Medal... Now I have to spend some time studying the two ribbons on the left before I place my order for the ribbons for display.

If anyone knows where I can find a better photo or information on this marksmanship award, please send me the link...

Thanks to all who have helped so far. It is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, my father-in-laws records are among those destroyed in the 1973 fire at the records center... just like my own father's records... So this speculation is very important to completion of my tribute to my wife's father. Please provide additional help in this information quest if you can.
