I'm asking out of pure ignorance.

Yes.
It is also a medal (dangling stuff you see on formal military attire).
While all medals have ribbons (able to be worn in neat rows, as in the picture), not all ribbons are medals.
Hope that makes sense.

Yes it is(The Purple Heart on this Hero's uniform is the top one as you look a him left).

Sort of reminds me of one day at USMC Camp Pendleton, where I was stationed from 1966 - 1968....I passed by a young guy who had this ribbon on his chest:

All medals have a corresponding ribbon, including the Purple Heart.
