"This medal is NOT authorized by the Department of Defense for wear. " I don't see the need.

I don't see why not? There are already literally hundreds of approved foreign medals/ribbons authorized for wear on US military uniforms.

TSgt David L. - The vet in the story launched a kickstarter to fund the awards in order to submit to DoD for recognition. The paperwork for the award was already issued by the Iraq government in 2011, just not the physical award.
