Isn’t the “light blue job with a bunch of stars on it” supposed to occupy an entire row to itself?

I’ve been hanging with Americans for too long… it’s the [Medal of Honor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor).

In [ribbons](http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/moh_ribbon.gif) it is first on towards the center of the chest on the top row, medal itself is one one of those funky neck ribbons. Technically you can get one on a [medal mount](http://www.lisapetrilli.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2003-Medal-of-Honor-261x400.jpg), but most people go for the [neck hanger](http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/505801672141106-300x300.jpg).
