The actual medal was established on 12 May 1964. Its purpose was quite clear. It was to be visible evidence of a soldier's combat deployment during the fighting (war) in Asia on the battlefields of South Vietnam. There are many different types, designs of this medal, or it was minted in Vietnam, but also in South Korea, Japan and the USA. For members of British units, the medal was inscribed with the soldier's name, rank, unit and classification. SPONA: A metal clasp was attached to the medals, and it had a year: 1949 - 1954 (for Vietnamese soldiers engaged in combat during those years) and CLASP 1960 Apart from these official clasps, however, soldiers of different armies improved their clasps according to their own traditions. There are clasps with the date of the soldier's deployment, other years. It was the veterans, the soldiers of the US units who used clasps where the year, the date of their deployment was marked.
