| I didn't get sent to Camp Horn but for the entire month of June 1971 I was sent to the 95th Evac for guard duty. As mentioned above real beds and 3 hots every day. Seems like we had 6 hours of duty each day. The best part was seing round eyed Drs. and RN's daily! |

| Greg, If I haven't mentioned b/4 all the records I have from the VA only contain where I drew educational benefits. That is all that was in file PERIOD. St Louis told me I have a 3 month window to narrow down "Daily Reports" Perhaps I should go that way 1st. I do have dates when available when I encountered ACTION. |

| Greg, Sorry but I don't see a "Looking For" tab or category. All I see are pictures from his tour and Bill Doyles photo's. Thursday night I did locate a fellow grunt from St Louis with exact dates in RVN and in my unit. He was mentioned in a Stars and Stripes article about a firefight we were in and got him a SKS keepsake to bring home out of the skirmish. He's going to look through his records for CIB orders and even his DD 214 to make sure he wasn't overlooked for the CIB. Google "Professionals Net Five" Spinali was his name. Rider was the platoon leader. |

| I've only been in contact with one person from my unit other than the Lt and Capt. This fellow grunt had the same dates as I in Vietnam and naturally he's in the same predicament I am, his CIB is not on his DD 214 either. Matter of fact when he mentioned it to me is when I looked at my DD 214 and realized after all those years mine was omitted also. The CO mentioned in his letter that it had to have been a clerical oversight as I met all the qualifications to have received the medal. The personnel file they sent me didn't contain copies of any orders what so ever during my time in the Army. I've tried locating other members of my platoon but nothing comes up in the search for them. |

| Today I received a packet from the National Personnel Records Center in St Louis. There were about 40 pages in it and none that pertained to anything to support my evidence for obtaing the CIB that I rightfully earned. All I have to go on are two notarized buddy letters that I obtained from a 1st Lt. platoon leader I had for 6 months and a Capt. company commander I had for 4 months. I believe I'm going to go to a local congressional office to get them to submit this info to the Army Board of Corrections for me. Does anyone any more suggestions before I do this? Thanks, Roger Burge |

| You know how they will honor competitors coupons? I've used a Harbor Freight 20% off coupon at HD before. It was for a Generac Generator. |

| Hey all, Just a report on the progress. I emailed a Service Officer whom responded much faster than I ever expected. He says, "First, as far as I can tell, you have done exactly what I have advised veterans in a similar situation to do". He agrees everyones advice thus far has been RIGHT ON! When I assist veterans with filling out a request for their C file, I usually have them complete a VA 21 – 4138 which I am attaching to this email. This is a simpler form to complete and it will accomplish the same goal. The statement on the form I usually suggest is something like this. I would like to request a copy of my records from the VA in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. Please s... Click here to read more ... |

| Just an update. I've located a former CO and platoon leader. Both of whom will submit notarized statements attesting to my involvement in a combat ground unit that was engaged in hostile fire. Sent to St Louis, MO requesting OMPF file, medical records, and morning reports for my entire tour. Thanks for all the assistance guys!! |

| Taking this step a little further in obtaining the "C" file a few items are unclear to me. I've printed out this form VA3288. 1. VA file NO. include prefix. 2. Information requested. 3. Purpose for which information is to be used. 4. Where is it to be mailed to. |

| I have never had a VA claim. Is there a "C" file for me? Should I still request it? |

| Falcon, According to the link above the "C" file is housed at the VA Regional Office? To request your C-File which is your claims folder at the regional veteran affairs office use VA Form 3288. |

| hostile fire serving in my assigned infantry unit? I served in Vietnam in 1970-1971. 1/46th 196th Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. MOS was 11B. Spent the entire year in a infantry unit. Was engaged in numerous firefights but was never wounded or had to be dusted off. In the last year I noticed on my DD 214 that I hadn't been awarded the CIB. I filed the paperwork to have my DD 214 amended and awarded the CIB like it should have been 40+ years ago. All I submitted was my DD214 and stated the errors on it. Yesterday I received a letter from the Dept of the Army denying my application. They inform me my case is final. They continue to say that I may request reconsideration of their decision within...
