I had to google the Korean Defense Service Medal. Apparently it was approved a couple of years before I got out. If I really wanted to dig through the records and do a boatload of paperwork, I could get it. Maybe some day.

I enlisted 6 months too late for the Cold War Certificate.
And that award (KDSM) gives you Veteran's Preference if you didn't already have it:
"The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) would like to remind Federal agencies that anyone in receipt of the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (for service in Operation Enduring Freedom), Iraq Campaign Medal, Afghanistan Medal, or the Korea Defense Service Medal is entitled to veterans' preference if otherwise eligible.
They'll take away my Overseas Service Ribbon and replace it with this..
