	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999033121

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  A quorum was present during the further consideration and deliberation.  The findings appearing in proceedings dated 29 December 1999 were affirmed.  The following additional findings, conclusions, and recommendation were adopted by the Board.

	Mr.  Richard H. Allen 		Analyst	

	The Board convened at the call of the Director on the above date to reconsider the conclusions and recommendation appearing in proceedings dated 29 December 1999.

	Mr. James P. Huber		Chairperson	
	Mr. Elzey J. Arledge Jr.		Member	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		Member	

	The applicant and counsel, if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following additional evidence:

	Exhibit C – Additional application for correction of military records, dated 19 October 1999.

	Exhibit D – DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States –Report of Transfer or Discharge), issued on 6 July 1970.

	Exhibit F – General Orders 10224, Headquarters, 1st Infantry Division, dated 8 September 1969.  

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

16.  On 19 October 1999 the applicant amended his application, by sending a second application to request that his records be corrected to show that he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with “V” device.  He states that this award was not shown on his DD Form 214 issued on 6 July l970.  He submits a copy of General Order 10224, Headquarters 1st Infantry Division, 8 September 1969, which awarded him the Bronze Star Medal with “V” device.  

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES: 

5.  At the time of the Board’s 29 December 1999 decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the applicant’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time of his discharge from active duty on 6 July 1970.  

6.  In view of the additional factors in this case the applicant is entitled to correction of his record to show that, besides a Bronze Star Medal for service, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device.  This would be the first Oak Leaf Cluster to the Bronze Star Medal.  Therefore, this second award of the Bronze Star Medal should be added to the additional awards and decorations approved by the Board in its previous action to be added to the DD Form 2l4.  

7.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated 29 December 1999, by issuing to the individual concerned a second DD Form 

215 (Correction to DD Form 214) to add the award of the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device (First Oak Leaf Cluster).
