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.
