during the Gulf War. I was awarded a National Defence Ribbon. The only desert I was near during Storm or Shield was White Sands in NM. Am I a war veteran? Yep.
I was in the Air Force Reserves during Kosovo. My unit was activated and President Clinton wished us well in person before the unit went off to war...in the South of France. Got another National Defence Ribbon for that 2 week tour. Am I a war veteran? Yep.
Can I become a member of the VFW? Nope, but am I a war veteran? Yep.
