Hi Folks: I bought a wide USN ribbon bar and the PTO ribbon has some brass campaign stars but it has one larger golden star. I don't know USN awards that well so what does the golden star designate/represent? Thanks,

Thanks ...can you provide an example? Is it like being award a BSM or SSM etc?

Large gold stars would be used, as stated above, to represent additional awards and used on Purple Hearts, Silver Stars or an other personal award/decoration. One star for the second PH, two gold stars for a third award and so on.....

They are not used on the campaign ribbons or medals as previously stated.

I believe that is actually a silver star, which would represent 5 campaign credits. I have seen these out sized silver stars on PTO ribbons in the past....
