VOLUNTEER SERVICE RIBBON BAR
Action of Central Committee
The first action of the Central Committee took place at its meet-
ing on April 9 1945, when it voted:
That the Central Committee hereby approves the
insignia which has heretofore been authorized
for use in Volunteer Special Services in rec-
ognition of the númber of hours served, and
this matter is referred to the Committee on
Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards for such further
consideration of the use of this insignia as
may be appropriate and wise.
On June 18, 1945 the Central Committee took the following action
on the report of the Committee on Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards dated June
15, 1945 (see Appendix, page 4):
That the Central Committee hereby authorizes the
following with respect to the recommendations
quoted below from the report of the Committee on
Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards dated June 15, 1945:
4. At the last meeting of the Central Committee,
approval was given for the issuance of a ser-
vice ribbon bar for volunteers. Your Committee
recommends the distributio of this insignia
as the "Red Cross World War II Service Ribbon
Bar" to any volunteer who has served with the
American Red Cross for twelve months within
the period beginning December 7, 1941.
In recognition of continuous volunteer service,
it is proposed that for every additional five
hundred (500) hours served or their equivalent
a silver stripe may be attached to the ribbon
bar, each silver stripe representing five
hundred hours. A gold stripe will replace a
silver stripe to represent one thousand (1,000)
hours.
The eligibility of each volunteer to add stripes
to the service ribbon bar, either on the basis
of hours served or their equivalent, is to be
determined by the chairman of the service con-
cerned in each chapter or the head of the ser-
vice in each office.
