I was on AD on 9/11. I got out 19NOV01. Do I qualify for NDSM, or no?

From what I've been told, NDSM (National Defense Service Medal) regs state that you must serve on AD during time of National Crisis (wartime). What I'm unclear on is how long and do I qualify?

The National Defense Service Medal was reinstated by MILPER Message 02-150 and servicemembers have to serve one day of qualifying service to earn medal.
It is awarded for honorable active service for "ANY" period from 11 September 2001 to a date to be determined.

No because in order to get the NDSM from my understanding you have to enlist or reenlist during a time of war.
