<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you have to have a US award/ribbon i order to wear it. The National Defense Service Medal qualifies. Check with your TACNCO regarding your eligibility.SGT Rodrigo ContrerasSun, 27 Aug 2017 19:24:58 -04002017-08-27T19:24:58-04:00Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 27 at 2017 7:31 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have one too and I was told that you need a memorandum from your first general office to wear it. I wear mine regardless but that is the rule from what I was told.SSG Private RallyPoint MemberSun, 27 Aug 2017 19:32:36 -04002017-08-27T19:32:36-04:00Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2017 5:01 AM
