CAPER Ribbons
Because so many years, the memory of which ribbon was for what has faded! I've been working on it and realized that it is better to get the help from more CAPER Alumni. If we work together, maybe we can figure them out. I'm using the ones that I have, so I am missing two of the Rose Awards and the membership ribbon from the Pre-CAPERS Kaydettes at the University of Oklahoma. The pictures of the ribbons were a little blurry and the color isn't perfect.
I found the Pershing Rifles current SOP on-line. Since our awards were based on theirs, I have put then in their order with the "most prominent" at the top.
After you decide what you think the ribbon is, put it by the corresponding from below and submit it.
If you have a company specific ribbon you'd like someone to help you with, take a picture of it and send it to us.
