Ribbon Medals-embrodiered-still allowed?


Recommended Posts

When did these fall out of favor? Or is anyone able to tell me that they are still allowed on modern dress uniforms.

They lend a quiet elegance to a military uniform next to the highway bill boards literally mounted on peoples chest on today's uniform. Those THINGS just don't drape well on a persons chest. I know when I was in the USAF in early 80's they allowed embroidered specialty badges and ranks before we changed over to the bus driver uniforms-that is my only encounter of everyday military uniforms with embroidery. Photos of General Doolittle,  Field Marshal Alan-Brooke and General Eisenhower to illustrate my point on ribbons.

Okay they are Generals-but I have seen pictures of enlisted with these sort of medals.
