Mossy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Nice medal bar and certainly an interesting bit of history. Just curious, why were the different ranks given different ribbons for their medals?Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Quite a late answer, However, the answers for different ribbons is the same as the answer why officers get orders and the lower grades get the zeal-medal,Just because of the ranks, just to state the difference between the sailor and the lieutenant.....Even the english do it, Admirals become knighted, sailors get a medal to commemorate their part in the action......Belgians give lower grades of the national orders to the NCO's and soldiers, whereas officers get the knights-classes immediately....yes, the pure equal society doesn't exist..... but differences motivates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
