Jerry, I am not interested in any medals for myself. I always wear my CIB
on my gimmie cap on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. This Veterans Day I will have
my Presidential Unit Citation to wear on the cap too. This is enough for me. The
link I need is for a hardheaded, impatient old man. When we served together
in Japan and Korea he was a hardheaded, impatient young man. And the best friend
any man could ever hope to have.

A friend of mine is putting together a collection of his
Korean War awards and decorations. All that I was authorized was the Japan
Occupation, the Korean Campaign, and the UN Defense medals. But there has
been a whole slew of medals authorized since he and I were discharged. I had
the link to a site, but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone tell me
where I can find a list of medals?

You will need to send a copy of your
DD 214 and request that they send you all metals that you are authorized to
receive .
Send To : Commander
US
Army Support Activity
Philadelphia
, Pa 19101-3460
They advised me that " The metals that you are
authorized will be sent within approx. . 120-180 days .
You
are authorized the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation Badge . This
foreign award
is not issued by the Dept. of The Army , but may be
purchased from civilian dealers in military insignia "
Also you can receive the Korean War Service Medal by
sending a copy of your DD214 to Randolph
AFB , San Antonio , Texas .
The best way to peruse
getting this medal is to contact your local
VFW post
