Applicant requests that his records be corrected to reflect award 
of  the  medals  awarded  to  Korean  War  veterans. 
Applicant's 
submission is at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate Air  Force office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to  the  Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this o€fice. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available evidence of record, we  find  insufficient evidence of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent  persuasive evidence applicant was  denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied, we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this de,cision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of  new relevant 
evidence  which  was 
not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

' 

Members of the Board Mr. Wayne R. Gracie, Ms. Rita S. Looney, and 
Ms. Ann  L. Heidig  considered  this application on  2 8   May  98 in 
accordance with  the provisions of Air  Force Instruction 36-2603 
and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
