"I've said it here a few times already, but let me say again I'm a
transgender Persian Gulf War veteran. I personally didn't see any
combat action (as the ground war ended two months before I was sent to
serve on the USS Gary), but I was assigned to the gulf during the
window to be awarded the Southwest Asian Service Medal (with Bronze
Star), National Defense Service Medal, and most importantly for this
discussion, the Kuwait Liberation Medal."
