[edit] Sources

I've added one source, which is really about all their is to be said about the article as it stands. Also, the current link to the PDF given in the article is dead, but it's a link to a .mil site, and the top result when searching for the SECNAV on Yahoo, so I'm lead to believe this is just a temporary thing. Considering the one source that was already there, as well as the one I just added, would anyone disagree with removing the Tag at the top of the page saying it cites no sources?

[edit] Theater combat ribbon

In the article about Edward J. Ruppelt the above is mentioned. Is that the same as the present article? If not, does Wikipedia have an article about this merit? __meco (talk) 11:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Approved actions list

I think this list should either be removed or moved to another article dealing with just the campaigns listed for this ribbon. The ribbon is also retroactive and I think there are dozens if not hundreds of occassions where it has been awarded. It can also be awarded on an indidivudal basis, for which no list can cover. -OberRanks (talk) 14:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
