For all:

Anyone who had relatives who served in the Armed Forces in WWII should also know the following:

Any service member who served in World War II and who was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge or the Combat Medic Badge is eligible as a result for award of the Bronze Star Medal.

That award can even now be made via the National Personnel Records Center if the service man's records were not destroyed in the aforementioned fire.

I have the delight of being involved in the process that led to two verterans of that conflict being awarded this medal some 60 years after their separation from active duty in 1945 or 1946. In one case a formal award ceremony was presided over by a Brigadier General.

Please send me a private email if more information is needed. I'll be happy to help.

Very kindly, David
