Military Ribbon Meanings - Help
 
I am trying to figure out my dad's military ribbon colors. I've found all but two. Does anyone know what these are. I think they are associated with ROTC.
Orange Silver Black
White Yellow Black

Thanks! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e4d70c3c6f.jpg

When asking this type of question the service branch helps as the ribbons are different. This is Army.

First one: Sr. ROTC - R-1-6 Army ROTC Ribbon

I did not see the second one, but you can look here:

Thank you. After his Army term he switched to Air National Guard due to proximity. So I wasn't sure if they might be Air Force related.

Tim,

If you have easy access to his DD214 I believe the awards and ribbons would be listed there as well. It's possible he earned some stuff towards the end of service and they didn't make it on his uniform. Sometimes an award is earned multiple times, but not accurately indicated on the ribbons.

I'm looking through wikipedia right now; they have a good listing from a lot of different agencies and military branches.

This is the first time I've ever really had an idea about what would be a good app to create. I don't see one on the Google Play store with the intent of scanning a medal (basically a bar code) and providing the identification (C). So, who wants to invest in my idea?

Update. I reached out to the ROTC program my father went through at Eastern Washington University. I had two unknown ribbons that I knew were associated with ROTC. They were significant of Receiving a ROTC Scholarship, and the other was for being in the national top 5-10% of Demonstrated Leadership Excellence.
