I've been trying to find the actual ribbon he has on his uniform, but can't find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Website links too, please.
The single military ribbon worn by LTJG Daniel Kaffee is the National Defense Service Medal, which is awarded to any member of the United States military who served honorably during a designated time period of which a "national emergency" had been declared. The movie takes place during the time period August 2, 1990 to November 30, 1995 for service during the Gulf War.
