AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03006 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His record be corrected to reflect his awarded Legion of Merit, 
with the First and Second Oak Leaf Clusters (LOM, w/1st and 
2nd OLCs). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
28 Apr 11. In his initial request, the applicant’s record was 
administratively corrected to reflect his entitlement to the LOM 
and the Berlin Airlift Device (BAD). 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 F. 

 

The applicant submits a request for reconsideration, contending 
that his record should be corrected to reflect his entitlement 
to his awarded decoration. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement and a copy of the award elements for the LOM, 1st OLC. 

 

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

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of error or injustice warranting partial relief. 
In an earlier finding, the Board found insufficient evidence of 
an error or injustice; nonetheless, the applicant provides a 
copy of the award elements and based on a review of the evidence 
presented, it appears the applicant was, in fact, awarded the 
Legion of Merit, with One Oak Leaf Cluster. We have attached a 
copy of the special order awarding the additional LOM. 


Notwithstanding, the above, other than his own statements, the 
applicant has not provided any evidence to substantiate his 
entitlement to the LOM, w/2OLCs. Therefore, in view of the 
above, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected to the 
extent indicated below. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that: 

 

 a. His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, 
issued 28 February 1974, Item 26, Decorations, Medal, Badges, 
Commendations, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or 
Authorized be amended to reflect award of the Legion of Merit, 
with One Oak Leaf Cluster. 

 

 b. That the award element, including the certificate, the 
accompanying citation, and Special Order GB-611, issued on 
3 September 1971, be placed in his official record.
