Plain-English Summary

Veterans who participated in Operation End Sweep, a post-Vietnam War military operation that cleared naval mines from Vietnamese waters, would become eligible to receive the Vietnam Service Medal, which recognizes service during the Vietnam War era. Currently, these veterans are not automatically recognized with this medal despite their service in Vietnam-related operations. The change would ensure these service members receive the same recognition as other Vietnam-era veterans.
