About this ribbon

Original Distinguished Unit Citation established by EO 9075, 26 February 1942; renamed Presidential Unit Citation (Army) 3 November 1966. This Army version shares a blue ribbon pattern with the Air Force unit citation but is catalogued by issuing service.

Service years and award dates

Years help surface possibilities. A date overlap does not show that someone earned an award. Some date rules describe completion, specific operations or retroactive eligibility, rather than a universal service window.
