Point of Interest: Pictured above is the ribbon for the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal. There were 16 designated campaigns authorized for this ribbon and they are represented by the small bronze star device (pictured on the right side of the ribbon) for each. One bronze star would be issued for each of these campaigns. The bronze arrow head pictured on the left of the ribbon was issued for anyone participating in a combat parachute jump, combat glider landing or amphibious assault landing. Although many individuals qualified for more than one arrow head, only one arrowhead device was authorized for wear. |
