The Korean Service Medal (KSM) is a decoration of the United States military and was created in November 1950 by executive order of President Harry Truman. The Korean Service Medal is the primary United States decoration for participation in the Korean War and is awarded to any U.S. service member, who performed duty in the Republic of Korea, between June 27, 1950 and June 27, 1954

The United States Department of Defense declared thirteen official campaigns of the Korean War, all of which are annotated by service stars on the Korean Service Medal.

Dorsey Fowler was in the 9th campaign-
United Nations Summer-Fall Offensive (Army, Navy, USAF): July 9 to November 27, 1951

The United Nations Korea Medal was usually granted along with the Korean Service Medal. Also, a similar decoration to the Korean Service Medal, known as the Korean War Service Medal, is a foreign medal of South Korea and is awarded to any United States service member who received the Korean Service Medal. The Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation is also retroactively authorized to any United States Army veteran who served during the Korean War.
