I was told Viet Nam couldn't afford a medal so they only gave the green ribbon. The U.S. gave a yellow medal with ribbon.

I don't know about that. They were able to afford mine. :=)

The yellow ribbon with two green stripes on the outside, three red ones in the center, and a star is another one that everyone got. I really do need to look these up online. I haven't even thought about them for years (actually decades) until this thread came up.
