The NDSM is currently authorized for four service periods dating back to the Korean War. But the criteria for being authorized the NDSM existed continuously since the Revolutionary War. Every American who served Honorably should be
authorized the National Defense Service Medal for wartime whether in battle or not, and peacetime for helping to prevent war.
The Mission of Operation RetroAction Recognition is to get Legislation introduced and passed by Congress to make the NDSM retroactive to our Nation's beginning so that every American who Honorably served is honored for that service. Request
your veterans and civic organization to support the Mission of Operation RetroActive Recognition.
