The 63d Infantry Platoon was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm for its actions during the time the applicant was assigned to that unit.

There are no orders in the applicant's military service records awarding him the Purple Heart. The date for which the medal was awarded is within the applicant's period of service in Vietnam. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending his DD Form 214 with an effective date of 12 March 1971 to show award of the Purple Heart for wounds received on 11 July 1970 in the Republic of Vietnam, the Army Commendation...

As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army...

The evidence confirms the applicant was wounded as a result of hostile action while in Vietnam and as such is entitled to an award of the Purple Heart. The applicant completed a qualifying period of service for award of the Good Conduct Medal on 7 July 1972 and the Board finds no basis to deny him the award for the period 18...
