To simply have served in the country of South Vietnam while serving in the U.S. military services. Many joined the Army, so the initial service was three years. Others were drafted, and had to serve two years in the service.

Others serving from '59 to '75 are considered Vietnam Era Veterans -- serving in the military during that time, but not actually assigned to units in Vietnam.
After I enlisted in the Navy in 1974, I served with several Navy Seabees who had fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Service members who retired after 30 years during that time would have served in all three wars.

Muhammed Ali did not serve in Vietnam. In fact he publicly refused to fight in Vietnam, even knowing he could have been jailed and could lose the championship belt as heavyweight champion of the world. He did, in fact, lose tthe championship belt and wasn't even allowed to compete in Boxing for several years. When he returned to boxing he regained the championship.
