358 New Jerseyans will Receive
State’s Top Military Award May 30
TEANECK, NJ - Two special award ceremonies will be held on
May 30 at the Teaneck Armory, Teaneck and Liberty Roads, Teaneck, N.J.
Col. John Dwyer, 42nd Infantry Division Support Command Commander, will
present the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal, the state’s top military
award, to 358 Bergen county residents who are combat veterans of World
War II, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Panama and Kosovo. The ceremonies
will be held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
An additional four Bergen county residents who are combat veterans will
receive the New Jersey Meritorious Service Medal for their service in the
military during the 10 a.m. ceremony and four additional residents will
receive the NJMSM during the 2 p.m. ceremony.
The N.J. Distinguished Service Medal was originally issued in 1858 for
those who had distinguished themselves in the New Jersey Militia, but was
infrequently used until re-authorized by Governor Kean in 1988.
After the Spanish American War, the Mexican Border Expedition and again
after World War I, the State of New Jersey minted special medals for returning
N.J. veterans to honor their service. After World War II, Korea, Vietnam
and subsequent combat actions no such medal was available. The State of
New Jersey was looking for an appropriate way to honor all of these returning
combat veterans and acknowledge the debt the state owed them for their
service. The N.J. DSM was then authorized for that purpose. It is New Jersey’s
highest military award.
Since its re-authorization in 1988, more than 8,500 medals have been
awarded to combat veterans from New Jersey.
In order to be eligible for the Distinguished Service Medal you must
meet all the following criteria:
~ currently be a resident of New Jersey
~ have been a resident of New Jersey at the time you entered into military
service
~ have been honorably discharged
~ have proof of having served in combat while on active duty during
wartime.
Those recipients whose service was recognized by the award of the Bronze
Star, Purple Heart, Air Medal or equivalent medal will receive a N.J. Distinguished
Service Medal with an oak leaf cluster.
The DSM can be awarded posthumously to the next-of-kin of a veteran
who meets the criteria.
Anyone interested in applying for the New Jersey Distinguished Service
Medal should send a written request together with copies of all pertinent
information, discharge document (e.g. DD Form 214), award citation, honorable
discharge, etc. to:
NJDMAVA
ATTN: Distinguished Service Medal
P.O. Box 340
Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0340
Be sure to include full name, home address and daytime telephone number.
The New Jersey Meritorious Service Medal is being awarded to those
combat veterans who were not residents of New Jersey when they entered
the military service, but who are current residents of New Jersey and have
resided in the state for the previous five years. All other qualifications
are the same as for the DSM. To apply for the MSM, send the application
to the same address as the DSM.
