US Army National Defense Ribbon, 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H

The U.S. Army National Defense Service Ribbon, measuring 1-3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches high, is awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who served honorably during specific periods of national emergency or conflict. Initially established in 1953, it recognizes contributions during significant times of military mobilization, such as the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, and post-9/11 operations.

The ribbon features a central golden yellow stripe bordered by wide red stripes and narrower white and blue stripes on each end, symbolizing patriotism and readiness to defend the nation. It’s a simple yet impactful design with a timeless message.
