No. The medal was authorized in 1999 for award to veterans of the Korean Conflict between June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. You may, however, receive the Korean Defense Service Medal created by the Deprtment of Defense in 2004. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/KoreaDefenseServiceMedal.htm Note, paragraph 7c has been recinded by subsequent changes in regulations. The Overseas Service Ribbon and KDSM are authorized for the same tour in Korea.
