Encyclopedia > Award numerals

Award numerals are decorations of the United States military which are attachments to certain ribbons and awards. Award numerals denote additional decorations of an award and appear as arabic numerals on a medal or ribbon. Award numerals are very similar to the Strike/Flight numerals of the U.S. Navy and United States Marines.
