Help with finding his division

Mr. Gardner,

Reference your statement about the clerk awarded the CIB.

I have been attempting receive approval to requests for the CIB to veterans of Bataan, and Battle of the Bulge.

According to guidelines, members that served as infantrymen regardless the MOS were entitled.

I discovered documents revealing hundreds of combat infantrymen without the MOS of an infantryman awarded the CIB. It was not until the 1960's when the requirement was listed.

As recent as 2003 Congressman Patrick Kennedy (RI) presented the CIB to a former AAF that fought in the Philippines in 1941/1942.

Yet today, the Army refuses to follow guidelines exclusively to WWII era. The Army does not recognize members that fought either battle unless they possessed the MOS, contrary to the WD Circulars, and history of Commanding Generals and below authorizing such.

Sorry state of affairs in today's military.

Robert
