Yeah, I think that is just wrong. When the NDSM was first issued, the recipient had to have served honorably between 27 June 1950 and 27 July 1954;(Korean Conflict)

Between 1 January 1961 and 14 August 1974;(VietNam War Era)

Between 2 August 1990 and 30 November 1995; (First Iraq conflict)

Between 11 September 2001 and a closing date to be determined;(Second Iraqi War)

I'm pretty sure women were included in that one as they are in all of the US Armed Forces medals and ribbons.
