Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal Patch — Embroidered Patch
Recognized by an Ally
The Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal was awarded by the government of South Vietnam to members of allied forces who served in the Vietnam War — a recognition from the nation Marines fought to defend. This patch represents the bond between American service members and the South Vietnamese people they served alongside.
The Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal was authorized by the South Vietnamese government and awarded to allied forces who served in Vietnam for six months or more during the period of March 1, 1961, to March 28, 1973. The medal was authorized for acceptance and wear by American service members, making it one of the few foreign decorations commonly seen on American military uniforms. The medal represented South Vietnam's gratitude to the Americans who fought and died in defense of their country. For the Marines who received it, the RVN Campaign Medal serves as a tangible connection to the Vietnamese people they lived among, fought beside, and tried to protect.
