U.S. Philippine Campaign Medal Ribbon Bar – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) ribbon bar representing the United States Philippine Campaign Medal, a military decoration recognizing American service during the Philippine–American War and subsequent military operations in the Philippine Islands.
Historical Background
Following the Spanish–American War of 1898, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States under the Treaty of Paris.
On February 4, 1899, armed conflict erupted between American troops and Filipino forces seeking independence, beginning the Philippine–American War.
The conflict involved extensive military operations throughout the Philippine archipelago, including conventional engagements, counterinsurgency campaigns, and prolonged guerrilla warfare.
Although the principal phase of the war ended in 1902, American military operations continued in parts of the Philippines for several additional years.
The Philippine Campaign Medal was established by the United States Army in 1905, with a separate Navy version subsequently authorized in 1908.
The decoration commemorates an important and complex period in American military history and the development of the United States' overseas military presence.
Why It Was Awarded
The Philippine Campaign Medal recognized qualifying members of the United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps who participated in designated military operations in the Philippine Islands.
Eligibility depended on the service branch, dates of service, and participation in authorized operations.
