Wiki says "He fought in the Korean War and earned the American Spirit Honor Medal."

Wiki is bullshit.

He enlisted in the USMC reserves in the Korean War but never went to Korea. I wonder what the American Spirit Honor Medal was. My guess is something like the National Defense Medal that everyone gets.

Wiki could say the sky is blue, the grass is green and I would demand proof before I half believed it.

No it doesn't... It says:

...He left Washington and Jefferson College in 1952 to join the Marines during the Korean War. There he earned the American Spirit Honor Medal....

The Medal is awarded to fewer than 1 in 10,000 or so recruits.... according to his Rep. web site.

...He learned about military service from the bottom up, beginning as a raw recruit when he left Washington and Jefferson College in 1952 to join the Marines out of a growing sense of obligation to his country during the Korean War. There he earned the American Spirit Honor Medal, awarded to fewer than one in 10,000 recruits. ......
