To join the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) or the American Legion as a veteran of the Korean War, you would need to meet their membership criteria. Typically, you must have served honorably during a period of foreign conflict and have received a campaign medal or served in a specific area during a designated time frame. You can contact your local VFW or American Legion post for more information and to initiate the membership process.
Vietnam era. The period beginning on February 28, 1961, and ending on May 7, 1975, inclusive, in the case of a veteran who served in the Republic of Vietnam during that period. The period beginning on August 5, 1964, and ending on May 7, 1975, inclusive, in all other cases. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 101(29))
There are two dates on the flag because the person who designed the flag had put the date that he or she had finished it on, then when that person wanted to make a change to the flag he or she put the date that they finished it on again on the new flag.
To be recognized as a Korean War veteran, an individual must have served in the military during the conflict, which lasted from June 25, 1950, to July 27, 1953. This includes any service members who were active during this period, whether they were deployed to Korea or served in support roles elsewhere. Some organizations may also recognize service members who were involved in operations related to the Korean War before or after these dates, but the primary recognition is based on the official conflict years.
