DETAILS:
The N.J. Distinguished Service Medal was originally issued in 1858 for
those who distinguished themselves in the New Jersey Militia. In 1988
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.
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 and have proof of having served
in combat while on active duty during wartime.

The
next presentation of the New Jersey
Distinguished Service Medal and other state service medals will take
place on Tuesday, May 25 at the Deptford Mall.
