Custom ribbon bars in the correct order of wear
Select the awards, add the relevant devices and build a ribbon bar for day wear. Rack Builder arranges the ribbons using the selected jurisdiction and current published guidance.
A ribbon bar represents your awards without the full medal, worn for day wear. Ribbons sit in rows in the same order of wear as the medals, arranged three wide for Navy style or four wide for Army and Air Force style, with devices placed on the relevant ribbon.
