I served from 95-98, and received the NDM. I never deployed overseas. I am wondering if this timeframe makes me a Gulf War veteran?

Might want to check the VFW. I was offered a membership here. I served from 80-04. I was in the USAF during DS and was told I was a DS vet. I never claimed it.

To be clear, I am not asking this question for either VA purposes, or bragging rights. I am simply asking for my own curiosity, and so, if anyone asks ME, I can reoly properly. I thank you all for your answers, and now I know that I am considered to be a Gulf War ERA vet. Thank you!

Since you never deployed overseas, this makes you a Gulf War Era veteran
