Comment- I think this is a record-breaker of Longest Time to not be referenced by any sources, wow Audi1merc2 (talk) 15:22, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~if any sources at all can be found to confirm its existence, although it seems unlikely it's a hoax~~. We have articles on pretty much every other medal ever awarded. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:30, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Officially established medal of South Vietnam during the era of the Vietnam War. Appears in every awards regulation manual I have ever seen detailing foreign awards authorized to United States military service medals [1] as it was in the top ten Vietnam service medals awarded to US military members. Google alone has 186,000 page hits and several hundred image hits [2]. -O.R.^Comms 22:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, enough to meet the guidelines, but REALLY needs some WP:RS sources to support the article. Kierzek (talk) 16:47, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
