Is there any chance we will be able to add devices to the ribbons in the future?
-also-
Army Sea Duty Ribbon is missing.

Oh yea I already have the Air Force devices working. Still needs tweaking but I am very close to being done with it and will setup each other branch for it. Here is an example of an Air Force rack that has devices:

Just copy and paste that.

I'm not sure what their deal is on this site. I've been asking them for over 7months now to add the Army Meritorious Unit Citation and I never get any response from them. So I wouldn't hold your breath, if you're waiting for them to add something.

I will have some time soon to be able to continue with ribbons and base additions. Please be patient. I will send out a notification when I have completed this stuff. Again I am sorry.

Sergeant Blake:

In the United States Army, we wear our unit awards separately from our personal awards, and for this reason, Army unit awards are larger than the unit awards worn by the other services.

Thus, the unit awards you have made available on this web site would not be suitable for display by soldiers.

The unit awards that I'm entitled to are:

(01) - Meritorious Unit Citation

(02) - Republic of Viet Nam Cross of Gallantry Medal Unit Award, with Palm

(03) - Republic of Viet Nam Civic Action Honor Medal Unit Award, with Palm

Again, for soldiers in, and veterans of, the United States Army, these unit awards are NOT to be displayed on the same ribbon rack as personal awards.

Maybe it would be cumbersome and impractical, for your purposes (i.e., the signature block), to include United States Army unit awards.

After all, how would you portray fourrageres?

Personally, I would like to have my Air Assault Qualification Badge displayed with my ribbons.

I'm certain all of the paratroopers, rangers, and Special Forces operatives would like to have their wings and qualification tabs displayed, and of course, the Combat Infantry Badge, Close Combat Badge, and Combat Medic Badge should be made available, due to their ultimate importance.

Also, the background graphics you offer for the signature blocks could include some backgrounds that are more historic.

With the exception of the ammunition, the equipment depicted in your background graphics didn't exist when I was a soldier.

I'm using the graphic of the M-4 carbine, which hadn't yet been invented or issued.

My basic individual weapons were the M-16 rifle, M-14 rifle, M-203 rifle, M-79 grenade launcher, and M-1911 pistol.

We had jeeps, not humvees, UH-1 "Iroquois" helicopters, not UH-10 "Blackhawk" helicopters, and the most commonly seen jet fighter was the F-4 "Phantom".

Contrary to what Hollywood likes to show, in Viet Nam, only United States Marines and Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (i.e., "LRRP", pronounced, "LERP") wore camouflage uniforms, none of the units I was assigned to were ever permitted to wear "boonie" hats, and three (03) units in the United States Army were never authorized to wear subdued unit insignia on their uniforms, i.e., the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), the 1st Infantry Division, and the 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized).

But, it's all mox nix.

I like what you've already created.

Thank you.

Anything beyond additional backgrounds or missing ribbons is not necessary. I understand how it might be nice for additional awards or badges, but it's not like this is a service people are paying for...it's free and it costs your time to create it. If the contents of a signature are that important, someone will create their own.

The only issue I have is that for my Air Force profile it lists Army commendation and achievement medals before it does Air Force versions (which may be correct for Army, but is not the correct order for Air Force). It's fine for posting around on this site, but I could never use the signature on any other message board because it's incorrect. Still, it's free and if i really cared enough about it I could edit my own image.

Overall, the sig generator looks nice. Good job on that.
