Hello,
Just a quick update since so many of you have provided so much input over the past couple of years.
While cleaning one weekend day this past October I came across a letter dated 1948 addressed to my grandfather in response to a letter he had written to the Army in a box of misc. papers that were from his father's house, I actually was ready to dismiss this paper thinking it was another copy of his discharge paper. Well to my surprise the letter stated that they were awarding him the CIB for satisfactory performance during combat. We submitted a copy of this letter to Senator's office, which a few weeks ago we received the CIB, Bronze Star Medal w/ certificate in the mail.
I feel very, very fortunate that I was able to stumble across this paper, since there are still so many folks searching for documentation. I wanted to take the time to let you all know and to post a picture of the awards we received.
Thanks again to everyone for all of your help and input.
Have a Happy New Year 2013!
Karrie
