There are no medals depicted on the logo. They are in fact Battle Ribbons. The upper one is US Army. The lower is Republic of Vietnam Campaign. If you were there you would know that, if you weren't, you don't have them and should not display them. Military rules.

Actually not true nothing to do with the Army, I was in the Air Force and awarded both ribbons. The top one is the Vietnam Service ribbon and the bottom is Vietnam Campaign ribbon.

Thanks to everyone who served!

I joined the USMC in 1968 and served state side for four years. I wanted to but was not allowed to serve in a combat zone because my MOS was top secret. I made a contribution to the war effort.

Where did this distinction come from?? Viet Nam veteran and Viet Nam era veteran. I never heard of a world war II era veteran or a WWI era veteran or a Korean era Veteran.

Not everyone in country fought but they are considered to be Viet Nam vetrans

Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (or VEVRAA, 38 U.S.C. § 4212) states -

A Vietnam era veteran is a person who:
  • Served on active duty for a period of more than 180 days, any part of which occurred between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975, and was discharged or released with other than a dishonorable discharge;
  • Was discharged or released from active duty for a service connected disability if any part of such active duty was performed between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975; or
  • Served on active duty for more than 180 days and served in the Republic of Vietnam between February 28, 1961 and May 7, 1975.
I enlisted in the Air Force in February 1974...technically I am a Vietnam Era Vet though I never served in-country. I also proudly wear this patch on my '96.
