	Republic of Korea Service Medal
		As a result, in June of 1976 the Secretary of Defense disaproved the recommendation to accept the Republic of Korea Service Medal "because normal military duty in Korea under present circumstances does not warrant reception of such a medal." Acceptance of the medal by either individuals or groups was therefore prohibited.
		It is not known how many of these medals were awarded, but when the recipients attempted to have them posted to their military records the medals were impounded and no record of the award was entered into the service records.
		As a result of effecting lobbying by the Korea Defense Veterans Association, in 2003 Congress created the Korea Defense Service Medal to recognize service in Korea on or after July 28, 1954, the date the Korean War Ended.
