VOLUNTEER SERVICE RIBBON BAR
Origin
Mrs. Richard M. Bissell, Administrator of Volunteer Special Ser-
vices, had been asked by many volunteers why the American Red Cross gave
no recognition for hours served. In the absence of such recognition, at
least two chapters in the North Atlantic Area had initiated bars of their
own. Mrs. Bissell, therefore, proposed adoption of a ribbon bar for Vol-
unteer Special Services, which was approved by the Staff Committee on
Insignia at its meeting on January 25, 1945.
