RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00022-2
	XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be awarded the Purple Heart.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 15 September 2010, the Board considered and denied a similar 
appeal.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale of the 
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit E (with Exhibits A through D).

Via DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record, 
dated 15 January 2014, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  He agrees that there is no medical record which 
substantiates that he was treated for his foot injury because 
there were several casualties that occurred prior to his injury.  
Therefore, while his foot injury would not have been a priority, 
it should not diminish the validity of his request. 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, copies of an electronic communiqué and photographs. 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing this application and the additional evidence 
provided in support of his appeal, it remains the opinion of the 
Board that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof 
or that he has been the victim of an error or injustice.  The 
Board has carefully considered the statements and photographs 
provided by the applicant and while the Board believes the 
evidence to be new and relevant, it is not of such significance as 
to alter the original decision.  As previously noted, the 
applicant has not provided sufficient evidence to show his alleged 
injury was a result of direct enemy action.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board finds no basis to 
recommend favorable consideration of his application.


 
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.
