On all of our products, you will notice two ribbons at the top of the page. The red, white, blue, and yellow ribbon is a version of the National Defense Service Ribbon. This ribbon is awarded to American Service members who served during specific times of conflict, regardless of location of service. The green, yellow, and red ribbon is a version of the Vietnam Service Ribbon. This ribbon was awarded to American service members who served in Vietnam or in nearby theater of operation during a specific time period. These ribbons represent the 9 million who served during the Vietnam period, regardless of location, whom the Commemoration aims to thank and honor. The use of the Department of Defense and Commemoration seals show that these products are official products and have been approved by the Commemoration and the Department of Defense.
