In US Military, there are two ways ribbons are awarded. First, in a "personal decoration" like the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, Purple Heart, etc., the medal and ribbon is awarded as a set (Medal and ribbon), as Medals are not worn on "duty uniforms". Second, many ribbons are awarded for personal achievement or duty where a medal is not awarded, such as professional development schools like NCO Professional Development Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon
