Be patient, thesite is graphics heavy and a little slow loading, but you really need to bump around the whole site to get thecomplete picture.

Some info; The billsmore or less order the Secretary of the Army, Navy and Air Forceto issue a campaign medal, to be known as the Korea Defense Service Medal, to each person who while a member of the Armed Forces served in the Republic of Korea from July 28, 1954 to the present and until a later established date.

As of today theSenate bill has 64 co-sponsors and the House has 246, and has been included in the language of the "National Defense Authorization Act of 2003".

It's not a done deed yet, so if you agree with the idea, you should contact your House and Senate representatives and ask them to support the bills.
