typically, for three awards you would need two oak clusters. the ribbon counts as one. However, for the good conduct medal, you would wear a knot for each award. It varies dependant upon the actual award, but for AAM's, Arcoms, etc the ribbon always counts as the first award.

One oak leaf cluster for 2 AAM.....if you only have one then there is no oak leaf...it's an oakleaf for each additional one.
do you want a list of people that won a Purple Heart with the oak leaf cluster? In Vietnam in 1967
The oak leaf cluster indicates that the decoration has been awarded a second time. Thus a bronze star with oak leaf cluster means the person won two bronze stars. Michael Montagne
Typically an Oak Leaf Cluster represents an additional award of the medal. Others use a star to indicate a second award.
