How do you wear medals?

Medals come with ribbons already attached to them. Often, the ribbon referred to is a small color clamp matching the medal's ribbon that attaches to a bar three or four ribbons wide to display on a military dress uniform. Medals were awarded in a case that contained one Medal with a ribbon and a ribbon by itself that could be pinned on seperately or disassembled so as it could be slipped on a multi-ribbon mounting plate.
