Something that I learned about a year ago is that there have been a lot of "medals" issued over the years that many veterans are not aware of.

For instance, my DD-214 lists four "medals" from my two years in the Army during the Korean War. In researching, I found that I am now qualified for five additional ones, in addition to the Cold War Certificate. They are:

ROK Korean War Service Medal - issued by the ROK and qualified people can get the actual medal - for free.

Cold War Victory Commemorative Medal

Overseas Service Commemorative Medal

Combat Service Commemorative Medal

US Army Commemorative Medal

For those who got out before it was issued but were there, the Kuwait Liberation Medal is also available.
