Correction. Apparently, this is a two-fer. Both the support ribbon, and the "District of Columbia Emergency Service Ribbon" - but only if you are in the DC National Guard.
“Both ribbons are District-level decorations. Plans for their presentation are not yet final. Other federal decorations are also being considered.”

Instead of the stars, it should have a picture of a soldier sleeping on the floor in a hallway.

You get a ribbon, and you get a ribbon, everybody gets a ribbon!
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

If they really want to respect these units service, they should all be awarded a unique Fourragère to wear going forward. So you can tell from a distance they pacified DC, slept on floors, carried unloaded assault weapons, ate raw chicken and metal shavings, and were honored (from a safe distance) by Ds.
Maybe instead of a shoulder cord, it could be a clockwork orange codpiece? - just for the dress uniform though.

Would they be required to add that to their uniform, or could they decline?

Nobody cares if you don’t wear an authorized ribbon. Especially one as goofy as that. The military has been bad about watering down the requirements for awards but this is a whole new level of stupid.

You can decline to wear individual ribbons but in the USN you have to wear your top three as a single banner at a minimum. You cannot choose to wear NONE.

What a crock of pure, unadulterated, 100%, grade-A male bovine fecal matter. I thought we were past this "everybody gets a trophy for doing absolutely nothing" insanity. Guess it's only just now infiltrating the military. What an EMBARRASSMENT! JSMH...

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
