Were deployments to El Salvador documented in Military service records from 1981-1992?

many folks in 7th and 5 SF Groups were credited with Combat Tours and CIBs and other Combat relate awards... and some with Multiple tours...

Yes. In some cases CIBs and decorations for valor were awarded as well, but years later.

Thanks for everyone's help in this. Great info and educational for myself. I served during the El Salvador time-frame, and met many vets that were honest about their service, but like I said, so many can use another's ignorance of the classification of this conflict to their "Stolen Valor" advantage.
