The Board considered the following additional evidence:
Exhibit C – (show the identifying data for the original Record of
Proceedings)
CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE:
13. On 18 July 2005, new information was received from the applicant in
regard to the decision of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records
(ABCMR) in Docket Number AR2004105444, dated 29 June 2004. The applicant
states, in effect, the Board failed to act on his request for a Purple
Heart or Purple Heart certificate for wounds he received on 12 January
1968.
14. On 29 June 2004, this Board recommended correction of the applicant's
records, in part, by issuing him a certificate for award of the Purple
Heart (First Oak Leaf Cluster) for wounds received during hostile action on
30 January 1968. This recommendation was based on the fact available
general orders showed that he was awarded the Purple Heart (First Oak Leaf
Cluster) on 30 January 1968. His DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United
States Report of Transfer or Discharge) also showed he had been awarded the
Purple Heart (First Oak Leaf Cluster).
ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
6. At the time of the decision of the ABCMR in Docket Number AR2004105444,
dated 29 June 2004, it was the intent of the ABCMR to make the applicant’s
record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the
time.
7. Evidence of records shows the applicant was awarded the Purple Heart
(First Oak Leaf Cluster) for wounds received on 30 January 1968. His DD
Form 214 showed award of the Purple Heart (First Oak Leaf Cluster). Based
upon this evidence the Board accepts that the applicant had been previously
wounded and accepts his statement that he had been wounded on 12 January
1968.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

Records set forth in Docket Number AR2004105444, dated 29 June 2004, to
read:

warrant a recommendation for relief and to excuse failure to timely file.
