I'd somewhat given up on US military as well, pending any info that might be on the attachment device. The closest US ribbon I could find is the Multinational Force and Observers medal, but the blue stripes are a bit thick:
multinational forces observers medal - Google Search

Thought the same thing, looked at that one a few times.....Close but not close enough!

I stopped looking after seeing a similar, but not exact, Mongolian police ribbon bar.
Good luck,

An official medal/ribbon issued by a branch of The United States military will not vary in appearance.

The National Defense Service medal’s ribbon is 1 3/8 inches wide and has eleven stripes. The first stripe is 7/16 inch of Scarlet followed by 1/32 inch of White, 1/32 inch of Old Glory Blue, 1/32 inch of White, 1/32 inch of Scarlet and a middle stripe of 1/4 inch of Golden Yellow. The next stripe is 1/32 inch of Scarlet followed by 1/32 inch of White, 1/32 inch of Old Glory Blue, 1/32 inch of White, and lastly 7/16 inch of Scarlet.

They will vary in appearance based on who made them and I'm sure colors would "bleed" a little when exposed to the elements.

The official ribbon for the DSM is the same size as NDSM. To the best of my knowledge, all of the ribbons are the same size.

Do you have a picture or reference to one? I am beginning to think this is not military but who knows.

[River Rat]

It could possibly be a state militia ribbon.

Unless someone else chimes in, it is to me. Good call, because I would have never found a better answer.

Why did Viddy say "didn't want to ruin the white and red cloth on it" if it didn't have white?? We need Viddy to come back

I wondered when you referenced the lack of white earlier, is the middle 1/3 of this not showing up as white on your monitor? (dirty white, in the case of Viddy's ribbon)

nsdq- good I.D.. Were you looking up from the sidewalk at that wburg cop in front of Bodies ?

[nsdq]

That is what I am thinking, that the middle portion is white not yellowish as the seems in the picture. When zoomed in you can see traces of white in the grooves.

[packerbacker]

Yeah, the middle looks yellow to me. Maybe it is just my monitor or something.
VIDDY, GET IN HERE!
