Alexei and Ed,
Read over the full post. I can't agree with Ed. All veterans did not recieve the V.o.Germany medal unless they were in the military in Europe. As in the example Alex gives of his grandmother (tell us more about her PLEEEASE Alex - duties, photo, etc.) those who only saw action in the East only got the V.o.Japan medal. I too have seen several sets with only V.o.Japan.
However, if you got ether (or both) VoG and VoJ you could get anniversary medals.
I am sure this is what you guys meant but I thought it read wrong as is, so for posterity .....
