RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: 98-01711 me 2 5 w
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that his records be corrected to reflect award
of the Purple Heart. 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 office.
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 opinions 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 a l s o be informed that this decision 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 Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr. Kenneth L.
Reinertson, and Mr. Henry Romo, Jr., considered this application
on 28 Jan 99 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

We have carefully reviewed the complete case file and records as requested by your
11 September 1998 letter for consideration of entitlement to the Purple Heart (PH) on the
above named applicant. Our comments are listed below.
We recommend denial of applicant’s most recent request (DD Form 149, dated 19
September 1998) for award of the PH. To be awarded the PH, a member must provide
documentation to support he was wounded as a direct result of enemy action and must have
received medical treatment by medical personnel.
t
In September 1998, our office reviewed the applicants records in response to his
request for the PH. His records were reviewed by the Purple Heart Review Board (PHRB)
consisting of review by one Lieutenant Colonel, one Major and one Chief Master Sergeant
and the reviewing authority in the grade of Colonel. The PHRB determined on 22 September
1 998, the applicant did not have sufficient medical documentation evidence to approve the
PH. The medical documents submitted by the Veteran’s Affairs Office state only
information provided by the applicant.
We do however, feel member’s discharge certificate should be corrected to include
Prisoner of War Medal, American Campaign Medal, World War I1 Victory Medal, Philippine
Republic Presidential Unit Citation and European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal
with four bronze service stars.
With the above information, we must recommend denial of his request for the PH. If
we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at DSN 487488015889.
