According to that article:
"Army Regulation (AR) 670-1, will reflect that this ribbon as the Army’s only “required” award, which all Soldiers will wear in the place of honor, centered on the bottom row of their awards and decorations."
Apparently it's "required".
I searched for photos of Milley and in every one he has the ribbon displayed in the wrong place. Apparently the General hasn't read, can't comprehend or considers himself exempt from Army Regulations.
A truly sad state of Affairs!
Yep. Love ww2 history. I have a number of ww2 and Korean War vets as patients - they are no charge patients! Here are some pics of one of my Stars and Stripes papers from 3 days before Hiroshima. Cool to read the articles.
Maternal grandfather (we had same bday!) was a welder for AF In Britain. He would put the bombers back together for the German runs. He made “the monster” to jack and hoist the planes to work on the gear and empennages. I remember him telling me some stories.
IMO, that 'medal' should be worn at the crease of the trousers - rear and center.....According to that article:

It was most likely a "gay" ribbon at the time it came out, however, it is the Army Service Ribbon.
I was just going by the article I cited, which I thought was a joke, but I've seen no one here describe exactly WHAT it is other than a cowtow to gaydom enforced Army-wide. There already IS a 'service' ribbon. It's called the National Defense Service Medal, executed by Dwight D. Eisenhower in the late 50s.
Well there was a period of about 5 years "recently" where you would not have qualified for the NDSM, but would have only had the "rainbow" ribbon at graduation from your MOS school.
(Between the last of the gulf War and 9/11)
Constant war makes it seem the NDSM is obligatory, but, it's not.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
"You'll take my word for it?"
If you want to believe it is a gay pride ribbon and the NDSM has been awarded between 96 & 00,
Then by all means drive on.
No need to "take my word for it!"
