Marion, I assume the USA goes up to the present day (ie. Iraq)?
In the UK we have the GSM, General Service Medal, awarded to those who took part in individual campaigns. I hold the GSM Dohfar which means I was involved in the 1970-71 Oman campaign and at age 68 and after 25 years with the Royal Air Force consider myself a veteran. This is obviously not so!
Colin.
