Vermont Distinguished Service Medal
The “Distinguished Service Medal” is awarded to any Veteran who was a resident of the state of Vermont when he/she entered the military. He/She must have received an honorable discharge, unless he/she died prior to military separation. Also the person must have served in a combat theater.
The "Distinguished Service Medal" is a state award. Active duty regulations allow their members to accept but not wear state awards. In addition, National Guard members activated (mobilized) may not wear their state awards while serving in Title 10 (federal) status.
The form for requesting the award can be down loaded at: www.va.state.vt.us
