    Hi all,
    A question, was there a single Service Ribbon/Medal that all WW2 service members received? I mean, ALL services, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Merchant Mainlines?

    Thank you.

    Technically, no. But that is only because you included the Merchant Marine.

    The Merchant Marine WW2 Victory medal is different than the military WW2 Victory medal.
