This ribbon image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “PA 20YM.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

This ribbon image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.

In computing such twenty years of service, any service in the military forces of the United States during any armed conflict in which the United States was engaged shall be included at twice its actual length provided that such Federal service was entered into after service in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard or Pennsylvania Air National Guard. The individual shall be awarded and entitled to wear on the ribbon bar of the Service Medal, one Silver Star for each additional five years of service.
