    I am thankful that you have these workshops as they are very beneficial as resources for those of us who have limited resource materials! Thank you again for preserving, sharing and honoring the men & women who serve our country!

    On my DD-214, I have actually been awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Navy Expeditionary Medal for operation Eldorado Canyon in the 1980s. So I think I can say that you can be awarded both.

    Got the AFEM in the Navy in the Straits of Hormuz when Iran locked missiles onto the ship I was on as a Gunners Mate. Then had a close call with an Iranian gunboat and had a standoff with our 25mm. God bless 🇺🇲

    In looking for a job, I ran accross this hiring criteria for vets, "[An Armed forces service medal veteran] means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985." I'm wondering if all the listed counterparts noted in the video falls under this umbrella?

    And because of all these one-off decorations, most of us who retired from the military look like a Chinese general.
