What does ndsm vcm vsm ph and 1 os mean on your dd 214?
NDSM - National Defence Service Medal. Means you were in the military during a time of war or similar crisis. VCM - Vietnam Campaign Medal. Means you served in a capacity which supported the Vietnam Campaign, either directly or indirectly. VSM - Vietnam Service Medal. Served in Vietnam. PH - Purple Heart. Received a combat-related wound/injury. 1 OS - Received one Overseas Service bar. Overseas Service bars are awarded every six months one spends in an overseas operational environment. So it was a short tour in Vietnam, and I'm guessing the short length of the tour had something to do with that Purple Heart.
