RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-02600
INDEX NUMBER: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests award of the Purple Heart (PH) Medal and the
Soldiers Medal with Valor. 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, within 30 days (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 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. As indicated in
the advisory opinion, the Soldier’s Medal with Valor is an Army
decoration. Therefore, applicant should forward the request to the
following address: Commander, U. S. Army Reserve Personnel Center,
Attn: DARP-PAS, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132-5200.
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. Richard A. Peterson, Mr. Roscoe Hinton, Jr.,
and Mr. Thomas J. Topolski, Jr., considered this application
on 20 March 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
