The Republic of Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation, originally referred to as the Friendship Ribbon,[1] was awarded by the South Vietnamese government to all personnel in the Military Assistance Advisory Group, Indo-China,[2] and other units who during August and September 1954, participated in humanitarian assistance.[3] The emblem consists of three vertical red stripes on a golden yellow background, in a gold frame.[4] The Republic of Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation is considered obsolete since the bestowing authority, the government of South Vietnam, no longer exists.
