I am a GS DOD employee who just received a Joint Civilian Service Commendation Award. I am also a US Army Reservist. From what I gleaned from AR and DA PAM 670-1, I would be authorized to wear the ribbon with my uniform. Trouble is, I can't find the ribbon for it, only the medal. Does anyone know where I can find one? Please see the attached photo for reference, thank you.

Everywhere I have looked, it does not appear that a ribbon comes with it

DoD and DA civilian awards are authorized for wear on the military uniform, but I have never found any civilian award that _comes_with_ the ribbon. You get the medal and usually the lapel pin, but the presentation set doesn't include the ribbon.

Only a few of the usual commercial suppliers of military awards carry any of the civilian awards (although that does seem to be improving). It is even harder to find the bronze laurel leaf device for multiple civilian awards (the civilian equivalent of the military OLC)

It’s going to sound odd, but have you checked the lawn shops and military resale stores? 1LT (Join to see) congratulations on the award
