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.

Date coverage is not certified complete. The finder keeps this entry available when listed dates do not overlap.

Research notes and remaining questions

The legal PUC authority predates the distinct Coast Guard ribbon design; the date the design itself was approved was not verified.
Legacy official ribbon-chart URL was identified, but the endpoint returned HTTP 403. No individually verified official ribbon image URL is supplied.
