RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NO: 00-02136
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that he be awarded the Purple Heart (PH). 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.
The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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. The personal sacrifice the applicant endured for his
country is noted and our decision should in no way lessen his service;
however, insufficient documentary evidence has been presented to warrant
awarding him the Purple Heart. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will only
be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence which was
not available at the time the application was filed.
Members of the Board Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler, Mr. E. David Hoard, and Ms.
Patricia D. Vestal, considered this application on 21 November 2000, in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
