Coast Guard Overseas Service Ribbon
Thanks for providing. I see that you created the image, according to the image page, but what is your reference for what it looks like? Just curious, since I hadn't seen anything publicly available yet. Thanks. ~ Pesco  So say•we all 11:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Found it on the Vanguard website. Since they're an official supplier, and it looks pretty much like what people were predicting, I think we can say with 95% certainty that is what it will look like. I haven't seen anything official from the USCG about it yet, but they're probably just behind the curve on this one. SSibert (talk) 13:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I should've thought to look there. They have it all.  That's definitely credible.  Thanks for providing it! ~  Pesco  So say•we all 13:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon?
Thanks for your help with the OSR. Would you be able to help make an image of the CG CAR? (Info sheet here) I'll try to upload a cut & paste copy in the interim for the Combat Action Ribbon article, but it won't be as good as a what you made for the OSR. Thanks. ~ Pesco  So say•we all 18:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey bud, not a problem. I made an image of the USCG CAR and uploaded it to wikimedia as the USCG Combat Action Ribbon, but I couldn't get it to display properly. I decided to combine the USN/USMC and USCG version into the same image so that it wouldn't look odd. Both images should show up in the history for the Combat Action Ribbon. If you can use both images separately and make it display right, I think that would be even better. I looked at some of the formatting on other awards that are given to multiple services Medal of Honor,Achievement Medal, etc, and they all had their images combined as one... so that may be the preferred way to go with this article too. Also, I'm just using MS Powerpoint to create these files. There's probably a better way to do it, but I'm not exactly a photoshop expert or anything. SSibert (talk) 02:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I never thought of doing it that way! Good solution, looks nice.  Thanks for the help! ~  Pesco  So say•we all 06:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
