SECOND ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03623
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
REQUESTED ACTION:
The former service members record be corrected to reflect award
of the Silver Star (SS) Medal.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 26 Jun 07 and 29 Jul 10, the Board considered the applicant's
(the deceased service members nephew) request to award his uncle
the SS; the American Defense Service Medal (ADSM), with the
Foreign Service Clasp; the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, with
three Bronze Service Stars (APCM, w/3BSS); and that be he
posthumously promoted to the grade of captain. The Board
determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant corrective
actions in regards to the SS and the ADSM and denied this portion
of the application. However, they favorably considered the
request for the APCM, w/3BSS . A complete copy of the Record of
Proceedings (ROP) is at Exhibit G and the Addendum to ROP is at
Exhibit M.
By application, dated 9 Apr 12, the applicant requests
reconsideration by introducing new evidence in the form of a
blank order announcing the award of the SS.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit N.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, the Board determined there was insufficient
evidence to warrant corrective action. After thoroughly
reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of
this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not believe the
applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in our previous
decisions. The applicant has submitted an order announcing the
award of the SS; however, as the applicant points out, it is only
a partial document and does not show the names of the recipients.
We note there is no indication in this document that he was
awarded the SS. Further, the Index Sheet does not state the
decedent was the recipient of the SS. While we appreciate and
honor the former service members service to his country, in view
of the above and absent persuasive evidence showing the former
members records are in error or unjust, the applicants request
cannot be favorable considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
