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
