I have a list of awards which gives some info. For instance, he received the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze service stars for participation in the following campaigns: Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe and Rhineland but it does not list the units to which he was assigned or dates. Is there an online source for that type of information? He has a CIB from WW2 and Korea. thanks - tk
As next of kin you should be able to apply for his army records: Veterans - Main Page (I'm assuming that he was in the US army).
here is what I have so far. Silver star Silver Star oak leaf cluster Bronze Star Purple Heart Purple Heart oak leaf cluster Good Conduct Metal American Campaign Metal European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal w/ three bronze svc stars for Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe and Rhineland WW2 Victory Medal Army of Occupation Medal w/ Germany clasp National Defense Svc Medal Korean Svc Medal w/ four bronze svc stars for UN Def, UN Offensive, CCF Intervention and First UN Counteroffensive United Nations Service Medal Combat Inf badge Combat Inf badge second award Expert Inf badge Republic of Korea Pres Unit Citation Badge Belgian Fourragee
What is his name? And year and place of birth. I'll have a hunt around (but applying for his records would be best)
I agree you should apply for a copy of his DD214 form. That will give all the information you need. Doc
