There seems to be some confusion about one of LTG William’s awards - the Korea Defense Service Medal
(from wiki) “The Korea Defense Service Medal is authorized for those members of the United States Armed Forces who have served duty in South Korea in support of the defense of the South Korean state after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement. To qualify for the KDSM, a service member must have served at least thirty consecutive days in the South Korean theater. The medal is also granted for 60 non-consecutive days of service, which includes reservists on annual training in South Korea.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Defense_Service_Medal
(from Stripes - 2004) “The Department of Defense announced Monday the creation of the Korean Defense Service Medal, capping a years-long effort at recognizing those who have served in South Korea since July 1954.
The KDSM is a service medal to give special recognition for the sacrifices and contributions made by members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have served or are serving in the Republic of Korea, read a Pentagon news release announcing the creation.
The area of eligibility encompasses all land area of the Republic of Korea, and the contiguous water out to 12 nautical miles, and all air spaces above the land and water areas.
The announcement means hundreds of thousands of current and former U.S. servicemembers are eligible for the bronze-colored disc, suspended from a green ribbon with blue, gold and white stripes. https://www.stripes.com/news/dod-announces-korea-defense-service-medal-1.16505
