days of active military service, and that he held the rank of Chief Warrant
Officer Three (CW3).
2. Item 13 (Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations and Campaign Ribbons
Awarded or Authorized) of the applicant’s DD Form 214 shows he earned the
following awards during his tenure on active duty: Army Achievement Medal;
Defense Meritorious Service Medal; Meritorious Service Medal (3rd Award);

for the LOM, for meritorious service for the period 16 February 1993
through
15 February 2003 based on his 24 years of exceptionally meritorious
service. He also provides an LOM Certificate that confirms this award was
approved and issued on 21 April 2003.
4. Human Resources Command Message (Date Time Group 17 March 2004)
disseminated implementing instructions for award of the GWOTSM. This award
is designated for Soldiers who have participated in or served in support of
Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). All Soldiers on active duty, including
Reserve Component Soldiers mobilized or National Guard Soldiers activated,
on or after 11 September 2001 to a date to be determined having served 30
consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days are authorized this award.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record includes an LOM recommendation and Certificate that
confirm the applicant was awarded the LOM on 21 April 2003. Further, based
on his active duty service after 11 September 2001, he is also entitled to
the GWOTSM. Thus, it would also be appropriate to add these awards to his
record and separation document at this time.
