campaign medals
Military service awards
Campaign medals are military decorations awarded to service members who participated in a particular war, battle, or military operation.
Unlike medals for valor or merit, campaign medals recognize presence in a theater of conflict rather than individual achievement: His campaign medals showed he'd served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Most veterans display them on dress uniforms alongside other awards and ribbons.
