RESUME OF CASE:

On 11 July 2001, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s 
request to correct his record to reflect he was awarded the 
Purple Heart.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s request for the award of the Purple 
Heart and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, 
see the Record of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit E.  

On 18 July 2012, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  As new evidence in support of his request, the 
applicant submits a personal statement, excerpts from his 
military personnel record and a newspaper article depicting the 
contested time-frame..

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action.  After 
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in 
support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in 
our previous decision.  Therefore, in view of the above, and in 
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon 
which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s 
request.

________________________________________________________________
_

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
