Think if you were a service person you were involved.
My brother, a Nave commander in the reserve, ended up stationed on a ship that never left SD.
Pretty sure he got Gulf ribbons for that

There's 2 different awards. One for those who were there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Asia_Service_Medal
And another for those who served during the timeframe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Service_Medal
Maybe there's others, but these are the ones I know of.
 
I like the "visitor's stone" on top of the marker. Did you place it there, Doug?
 
No.... I didn't.I did,however,spend a little time by myself there.Also,in the same area,were the headstones of the helicopter crew killedon August 6,2011,in Afghanistan.It took awhile,but I noticed that the dateswere them same,& finally put it together. It hit me,when I noticed items left there,especially pictures,showingthem all together,& having fun.I understand that they aren't going to permitthat any more. - Doug
 
Gonna be hard to stop it (I hope). Same for items left in remembrance at the Viet Nam Wall.
