If he had a Purple Heart and a CIB from WWII, he should be eligible for a Bronze Star for that period. I know, it’s probably too little too late, but still, we need to recognize these heroes for what they were.This is true. All WWII vets who earned a combat infantry badge were awarded the bronze star some time back. About 10 years ago, I requested replacement awards for my dad, who was also awarded the PH and CIB, and the Bronze Star was included, along with an explanation.

I wondered why my dad has a Bronze Star. He was basically a “Radar”(MASH) for the Air Corps. He never shot at anyone and no one shot at him.
His combat buds were very jealous.

(If you are not part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem.)
