I'm a veteran, and a couple of years ago I requested a copy of my service record from the US government. The set of medals listed in that was completely different from what it said on my DD214, and both were completely different from what I received in real life. Even if you were able to get that record, I would be very skeptical about using it as any kind of ground truth.
- Dalewyn 3y agoDid you inquire about correcting the information on the record? And would there be any point, aside from sentimental value, in pursuing such and dealing with the inevitable bureaucracy? Just sincerely curious, since as a common citizen I would nonetheless like for our government to keep accurate records (as practicality and reason allows) of the valiant people who served.
