Steve & Bucky’s Medals

Steve 

looks like he's got: 

parachute badge (the little oval one)

Purple Heart (with gold oak leaf cluster)

American Defense Service (for chasing down the saboteur in Brooklyn?)

Combat Infantryman badge (that’s the big blue one, but iirc that's supposed to be on top, not bottom, as it’s considered the most prestigious!)

Distinguished/Presidential Unit Citation badge !! (the lil blue one on R) 

Bucky 

imo should (but doesn’t 😒) have:

Combat Infantryman badge

if Steve's got a purple heart he'd have one too (minus oak leaf?)

maybe a red/white good-conduct ribbon

a Mediterranean theater ribbon

the same parachute badge

definitely some kind of marksmanship/sharpshooter (rifle?) badge (worn below ribbon rack)

Distinguished/Presidential UC on R

Steve would also have a Medal of Honour or two somewhere; possibly only post-Valkyrie.

Further Info: 

The fact that Steve has letter US pins on his collar (as opposed to discs, like Bucky) shows he's an officer. The 2 gold bars on his epaulettes show he's a Captain. (Bucky’s got his sergeant chevrons on his biceps.) 

The jacket seen in the pub is the dress uniform ^ (a long cavalry-style jacket).

They’re supposed to have gold bars on the sleeve cuff, one for every 6 months spent deployed, and a diagonal below for 3 years (but a lot of guys left these off because, well, they just did. Probably for practical reasons.) 

Steve’s jacket is also darker because he’s an officer; the standard issue pants for officers were lighter (a combo called the ‘pinks and greens’) but apparently they could wear matching pants if they wanted. NCOs and enlisted men had matching lighter colour jacket/pants.

The short jacket Steve is also shown in is from later on in the war; it’s an ‘Ike’ jacket (after General Eisenhower), modelled on British service ‘battle dress’ uniforms after they realised the long cavalry-style jackets weren’t so practical in combat. 

.

What’s missing:

Bucky, for some reason, has no branch insignia pins on his lapels. He’d (originally) have crossed muskets to denote Infantry. 

Steve’s pins don't seem to match up to any RL unit so maybe they were invented for the movie?? (for the SSR? maybe they’d both have SSR pins? maybe Bucky is pinless cuz he’s about to become SSR? I bet those pins would be real rare collectors items after the war! Typically you’d keep your original pins even if deployed to another unit. So, say, Jim Morita might have signal corps pins but still be deployed to an infantry regiment. Jim would have a pin on his L breast saying ‘Ranger’ too!) 

Steve should also have a Mediterranean Theater ribbon too

they'd usually have a big gaudy colourful patch to show their current unit assignment on their L bicep (so, the Howlie wings/Cap star logo).

and sometimes another former unit/combat patch on R bicep (apparently a lot of US soldiers nicked the 'FRANCE' patch to wear, supposed to be for just the Free French guys, if they'd fought in France; so Steve and Bucky might have that too? Dernier definitely would! The other Howlies might have kept their previous unit patches too.)

.

NB: 

Steve should have more medals by the end of the war, but they don’t show that, only these. ^ 

Other medals he or the Howlies could’ve got range from Army Commendation or Joint Service Commendation medals (for being part of a joint Allied taskforce), more Purple Hearts, Bronze & Silver Stars (3rd most prestigious; for actions over a brief period/couple of days), to the Army Distinguished Service Cross (2nd most prestigious). 

Perhaps even another Medal of Honor (most prestigious, see below; basically if you can include the words ‘with no regard for his personal safety-’ in the middle of a long description of some absolutely insane shit he did to protect his fellow men, take out enemy gun single-handed, etc. then... yeah. Medal of Honor.) 

Post-war they’d all qualify for the World War II Victory Medal and the Howlies would get POW Medals too, in the ‘80s. Except there’s a chance that Gabe and Jim would be overlooked for major medals because of racism, and only awarded posthumously; unless Frenchy, Monty, and Dum-dum were able to exert influence in their favour.

(Bucky might get a POW M. posthumously, have it taken away because his conduct during captivity was deemed not ‘honourable’ post-WS, then re-rewarded if he was exonerated! 😵)

RIBBONS:

Purple Heart

(For sustaining an injury in combat (or dying). This shows us that Steve gets credit for injuries even if his serum has fully healed them! In the sunlit photo you can see Steve’s ribbon has a little gold oak leaf cluster on it; which means multiple commendations/PHs. It would be interesting to consider whether he might qualify for another for dying if, eg. his heart had technically stopped post-Valkyrie. If Bucky didn’t have a PH already, he would either have one awarded posthumously, or have a cluster added to his existing ribbon after being ‘KIA.’) 

Good Conduct

(Something tells me Steve would never manage to get one of these, not in his whole damn life. 🤣)

European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal

(These cover a lot of ground, including the Med and Normandy; iirc you’d have lil bronze stars stuck on this ribbon; one per campaign you were in.)

American Defense Service Medal

(I may be wrong but I think this means Steve was deployed on American soil (and look! the figure’s got a round shield!) so they’d be counting his anti-sabotage action in Brooklyn, here. My headcanon that Bucky was assigned to the New York National Guard for a while, before being deployed abroad, which is how he managed to make sergeant, would mean he also has one of these.)

Medal of Honor:

(So important you get a whole damn necklace! It also comes with loads of special privileges, like his name on the Medal of Honor Roll, an extra pension of $1,388 a month on top of what he’s already owed, clothing allowance, 10% bump in retirement pay, special lD cards, free flights, interment at Arlington National Cemetery, free invites to all presidential balls and inaugurations, a special license plate, perks for next of kin, and the fact that all uniformed service personnel are supposed to salute him, even if they’re not in uniform and are of higher rank!)

Possible Badges:

Combat Infantryman Badge  

(worn above ribbons on L. These have 1 star added at the top of the oak-leaf wreath per campaign, going up as high as a rare 4 stars. This starless version tells us Steve has only been in combat for one campaign, so far, which, along with the purple heart & presidential citation badge, tells you he did something damn heroic his first time out! I think Bucky’s and the Howlies’ CIBs would have more stars than Steve’s, because they’ve been in more than one campaign; they might have one for N. Africa/Italy, another for Normandy, etc.) 

Parachutist badge

(aka the jump wings, this is a basic qualifications badge, not a combat badge; so it means Steve has completed basic parachutist school. Or he hasn’t, but the fact he did a combat jump while rescuing Bucky means the higher-ups have to award him one of these ^ or else admit he was AWOL and then have to court martial him. 😄 Knowing Steve he would start jumping without a parachute just to be a shit until they gave him one.) 

I can’t see it in the pics, but Steve’s badge should have a single bronze star on the shroud lines, to indicate a single combat jump. (You add more bronze stars on the wings per combat jump, switching to one big gold one on the ‘chute after 5). Reading between the lines, and given Steve has no eg. marksmanship badges, we can guess he did something damn heroic his first time out, in combat, and that it involved a parachute jump. 

PBs also have bigger silver stars added above the ‘chute as the qualification rises per certain number of jumps completed, in certain conditions such as eg. night time (up to 30 iirc), so might be different by the end of the war. Monty would have the Brit equivalent but probably of higher rank than the other Howlies, because he’s originally part of an airborne unit, is a Major, and has been in combat much longer.)

Marksmanship

(worn on L pocket below ribbon rack)

This is going L-R in reverse-order of importance, depending on how well you qualify: Expert>Sharpshooter>Marksman. You can only have 3 of these badges, max, and you add another clasp/bar beneath it, on those rings (also to a maximum of three) one for each weapon you’re qualified in, even if you’re proficient in the use of more than three. 

These aren’t badges you can just get and keep; you have to keep re-qualifying, and can be demoted back down if you do less well. Super-sniper Bucky would probably end up with quite a ladder set on his chest! He might have a ‘Sharpshooter’ badge before Krausberg, but the next time he re-ups, post-serum, shoots all his qualifications up to get an ‘Expert.’ 

There’s a similarly set-up badge set for vehicles qualifications, with clasps for vehicle types. Dum-dum and Gabe might get one for tank-driving! 😅 )
