Receiving a national defense medal typically indicates that you served in the military during a designated period of national defense, but it does not automatically classify you as a veteran. A veteran is generally defined as someone who has served in the armed forces and has been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Therefore, while the medal signifies military service, additional factors regarding your discharge status and length of service determine veteran status.
