Does that equate to 7 rows of medals??

In the US Military, there are many awards that are "ribbon only", meaning there is no corresponding medal, just the ribbon bar.

These are typically for completing various levels of training and similar achievements.

OK, this weekend I will photograph myself so everyone can see what I will be wearing, how many miniature medals, shoes, kilt, hose, flashes, etc. The only thing I do not have is a suitable Sgian Dubh.
