This is correct. I was there (Desert Storm) and everyone got excited when we heard Kuwait was going to give ALL service members who participated $25,000! But we were told that we weren't allowed to accept gifts of this kind because it was against our oath when we joined.

I never saw a gold medal though. First time I've heard of this.

How come we have not heard or seen any reaction from the Iraqi citizens on this? They should be shouting in the streets on this one

Although the dinar has to be internationally traded to help, the crazies over at the other place are saying that article VIII and ACH has to be inacted before the dinar is put on international trading. I thought the FIL was the last hurdle, so what are the thoughts of the Adsters, OSW's, Suzie's of this forum?

I was there also, but we heard it was $100,000. but we could not do it because it would make us look like mercenaries or something. I have one of the medals from Kuwait, I think they said it was worth something like $300+
