What is pacific theater ribbon?

The Pacific Theater ribbon is a military decoration that was created by the United States government to recognize the service and sacrifice of military personnel who served in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. The ribbon features a blue ribbon with white stripes edged in red with a gold-colored star in the center. Service members who served in the Pacific Theater between December 7, 1941, and September 2, 1945, were eligible to receive the ribbon. The ribbon has since been awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces who served in subsequent conflicts in the Pacific region, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the War on Terror. The ribbon is still awarded today and is considered a prestigious medal for those who served in the Pacific Theater.
