Yeah, you know, Blue Angel. One of the on limits one day off limits the next establishments in Sonyu-ri, if memory serves.
So if it's a service medal, how big of a deal is that? It's not, and my whole point is that striking a medal for it is just a waste of time and money. Those of us who went to Korea know we were there, and I for one am not interested in getting yet another ribbon for merely doing my duty, regardless of where that duty was.

Hmmm never heard that before. I was near Pyong-tec and Songton (or however you spell them).
The service medals are no big deal, it's just eye candy and tells your history. I.E. I've got 15 ribbons and of all of them, only 2 count for anything. The whole purpose behind the rack is to show where a person has been, what kind of missions they've been on and how good a person sucks up, ermmm, performed while someplace. I.E. Just by looking at my ribbons you can tell I've done xx years, I've been overseas a few times, I've deployed, I've done humanitarian missions, I've been in some good units and I don't kiss the boss's backside.
