From everything I can read, my Dad who was on the shore of the Sure river at Echternach on February 7 and 8, 1945, should have been able to wear the Distinguished Unit ribbon. Everything I read says that each member of the unit is entitled to wear it if he was in the unit at the time of the award and can continue to wear it after he leaves the unit. I have never seen it and my Dad does not know anything about it. Dad's medals have been replaced and it could have been in the originals but he did not receive it with the replacements. He was in 160 ECB, Company B. Does this document authorize wearing of that ribbon?
