	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.  

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Lee Cates		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Calvin M. Fowler		Chairperson	
	Mr. Raymond J. Wagner		Member	
	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Member	

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

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show the correct spelling of his name.  He provides copies of his Birth Certificate, Driver’s License and DD Form 214, Report of Separation, dated 16 February 1953.

3.  The applicant states that when his DD Form 214 was completed, a typographical error occurred and the second letter of his last name -- an “E” --was omitted.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Army on 9 March 1951 and was honorably separated 16 February 1953.  During this period he served under the name he now requests.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows the second letter of the applicant’s last name should be “E” on his DD Form 214, dated 16 February 1953 

2.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the second letter of last name of the individual concerned is “E”.
