With some exceptions, like dishonorable discharges, all servicemen have been awarded a medal, just completing basic training might earn them the National Defense ribbon. Therefore all veterans are decorated veterans...however, what the term "decorated veteran" has come to mean to people in general; is a veteran that has been awarded a medal for valor (decorated for valor or decorated for heroism).
So even though a servicemember is decorated with a medal (only the ribbon is actually worn), only the ones "for valor" are generally what the term "decorated veteran" pertains to.
