Korean war ribbon medal identification help

  1. Hi.

    I need help finding information out on these ribbons and and what these metal star clusters mean. I know that two of them are service medals for Korea one is the UN service ribbon. I know the middle pin at the bottom that award I know has to do with medical but can someone help me more with that. My mother was an m a e s Air Force flight nurse during the Korean War. She was a lieutenant and was upgraded to Captain at the end. I just need help with identifying all these and I'm sorry the colors are so faded but it's 70 some years ago. Any help you can get and I know there's websites but I haven't been able to find some of these ribbon colors and what the little clusters are those little metal Stars or oak clusters whatever they're called mean if there's more than one. Thank you PSX_20220805_110450.jpg

  3. Thank you. Do you know what the little metal looking h thing is in the middle between the ribbons and the flight nurse wings? Also do you know what the three little clusters of stars or oak stars or where those things are called what that means? I'm still trying to find out some of the ribbons mean and why there's a cluster of three on the one.

  6. Thank you. So the silver metal looking one is a captain's bars thank you that makes sense because she did leave as a captain in 1954.
