Tom,

The Americal Division (23rd Infantry Div.) Veterans Association has
transcribed several regs pertaining to Army awards, including the
Vietnam Service Medal and placed the text on their web site. It can be
accessed at:
http://www.americal.org/awards/vsm.htm. The various campaign (battle
star) date parameters can be accessed elsewhere, if needed.

Regulations *were* to have been identical between services.
