So then with that, the rest could possibly be his? Makes more sense if it is for WW2 and not for WW1. I know he was in for quite a long time if I remember correctly. They were given to me along with a few other relics (like a old bus pass from the 50's and some books from the 1800's).

I know I don't have them all. The post was to find out what the one middle ribbons was. I am guessing this bar was worn on a suit to VFW meetings long after he was discharged. The other ribbons I do have of his (or at least I think they are his) include: the Army Good Conduct ribbon (with 2 bronze knots) the American Defence ribbon (with one bronze star) the American Campain ribbon the Europe-Africa-Middle East ribbon (with 3 bronze stars) the Combat Infantry Badge

I am the friend that asked Pete to help me figure out what ribbon this was, thank you all for the quick replies. With that information I was able to find a medal that matched it. It is blue-white-red-white-red-white-blue; I took the slide-mount to get a good look at the back. Rick said, "That is an exceptionally odd combination. Upside down, chronologically", so what order should they have been in? Or is it just upside down? Where might I find some sort of information on the order ribbons should be in? I believe they belonged to my ex's great uncle. Why I have them is another mystery.
