The applicant contends that his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show he served in Vietnam. The evidence of record shows that subsequent to completion of his MOS training, the applicant was assigned to Fort Lewis, WA, where he remained until he was honorably released from active duty on 20 August 1971.

The applicant requests correction of his military records to show his correct place of birth.

Therefore, without medical evidence verifying that the applicant was wounded or treated for wounds as a result of hostile action during his service in Vietnam, there is an insufficient basis for award of the Purple Heart in this case.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090017267
Army Regulation 635-200, in effect at the time, provided for a general, under honorable conditions discharge for an individual whose military record was not sufficiently meritorious to warrant an honorable discharge.
