ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002073224C070403
There are no orders in the applicant’s service personnel records which show that he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal or the Air Medal. In the absence of a recommendation for award of the Bronze Star Medal to the applicant, or 1st Infantry Division General Orders awarding him the Bronze Star Medal, there is insufficient basis for this Board to correct the applicant's records to show award of the Bronze Star Medal. In the absence of a recommendation for award of the Air Medal to the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002077299C070215
His discharge document, with an effective date of 4 September 1973, does not show the Air Medal as an authorized award. The applicant's personnel records contain Headquarters, 1st Aviation Brigade General Orders Number 3554, dated 27 November 1972, which awarded him the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in Vietnam from 27 November 1971 to 27 November 1972. However, evidence of record shows the applicant participated in three campaigns during his assignment in Vietnam.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050003369C070206
Headquarters, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) General Orders Number 1604, dated 31 January 1970 show the applicant received the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service during the period September 1968 to March 1970. There is no evidence of record which shows the applicant served in an infantry MOS or served in active ground combat while an assigned member of an infantry unit of brigade or smaller size in Vietnam. Therefore, the Board requests that the CMSD-St. Louis...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003084266C070212
The applicant states that the Purple Heart awarded to him is not listed on his DD Form 214. His discharge with an ending date of 25 July 1973 does not show entitlement to any awards of the Purple Heart. There is no evidence of record available to the Board which shows the applicant's specific dates of service in Vietnam.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002073360C070403
12. Review of the applicant’s records further reveals eligibility for award of four bronze service stars to be worn on his Vietnam Service Medal, the first award of the Good Conduct Medal, two awards of the Valorous Unit Award, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm Unit Citation and the Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Honor Medal First Class Unit Citation. General Orders show the applicant was awarded the Army Commendation Medal with "V" Device; therefore, he is entitled to...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064859C070421
The Board noted the award certificate provided by the applicant for the Army Commendation Medal (3rd Oak Leaf Cluster). However, his records do not contain a recommendation for a fourth award of the Army Commendation Medal or General Orders which authorize a fourth award of the Army Commendation Medal. Based on General Orders present in the applicant’s records, he is entitled to three awards of the Army Commendation Medal, one of which was awarded with a “V” Device.
ARMY | BCMR | CY1990-1993 | 9020613
The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows only one award of the Purple Heart and does not show award of the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device. There are no orders on the applicant’s service personnel records which show that he was recommended for or awarded the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device. Evidence of record shows the applicant was awarded the Good Conduct Medal; therefore, he is entitled to correction of his records to show this award.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060009983
The applicant requests, in effect, that his military records be corrected to show the award of the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Air Medal with Numeral 5. The applicant did not provide any orders, and there are no orders in his military records which show that he was awarded the Purple Heart. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a. showing the award of the Bronze Star Medal and the Air Medal...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2004 | 20040008120C070208
The applicant requests, in three separate applications, that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 30 November 1979 be corrected: 1) in item 11 (Primary Specialty Number, Title and Years and Months in Specialty) to add 31542 Special Forces Qualified Infantry Officer, 3 years, 8 months and to change the entry for 35A to read 7 years and 5 months; 2) in item 2 (Department, Component and Branch) to change Military Police (MP) to Military...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060016720
The applicant requests, in effect, that the Vietnam Armed Forces Honor Medal (correctly known as the Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Honor Medal, Second Class), the Bronze Star Medal, (1st Oak Leaf Cluster), and the Good Conduct Medal be added to his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge).
