RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-02476
INDEX CODE: 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that he be
awarded the Vietnam Service Medal.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant's military personnel records cannot be located by personnel
and the National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, MO. Therefore the
facts and circumstances surrounding his service cannot be verified.
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 25 Apr 2002, due
to the lack of persuasive evidence. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the rationale of the earlier decision by the
Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit C.
On 20 May 2002, the applicant submitted a VA rating and a copy of his
performance report and requested reconsideration. The applicant’s complete
submission is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In his most recent submission, the applicant provided a copy of a
performance report that was rendered during the period in question, which
states that he was deployed to Vietnam on several occasions and
participated in direct support of operations while there. While the
performance report does not provide conclusive evidence that would normally
be required in support of this type of appeal, we are persuaded that it
does provide plausible evidence that supports his contentions. As such,
the evidence provided has led us to believe that reasonable doubt exists as
to the accuracy of his service records and it is our opinion, that any
doubt should be resolved in his favor. Therefore, in recognition of his
service to our nation, we recommend that his records be corrected as
indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was awarded the Vietnam Service
Medal for his service in Vietnam in 1968.
