1. If you
have been awarded The Bronze Star Medal (with or without the Combat “V”) and
you would like to have your award considered for recognition in my new book, to be archived as a public
historical event, please e-mail me the following, possibly in jpeg format;
a.
A clean, undamaged and readable copy of your Award Certificate, if you
don’t have your original Award Certificate, it’s okay ,all submissions will
be verified.
b.
A clean, and readable copy of the accompanying
Award Citation, or of an official
write up, bearing an authorizing signature on official DOD department
letterhead .
c. OPTIONAL; a clear
photograph of yourself taken in country (not in a group setting, but as an
individual image of yourself). All images will be converted to black and white
before their submission to authorhouse.com for publishing. No materials
received by the author will be returned. Send copies only. E-Mail submissions
are preferred.
2. Any obvious
signs of altering or fakery of any documents will be grounds for the refusal of
their submission. This publication is to be a true accounting of the U.S.
recognized Battles, Valor, and Meritorious Service, of those who were
recipients of this Medal, awarded during the Vietnam War. The author’s
intentions are to provide the reader with real life accounts, those that are a
matter of Department of Defense historical record. The real thing, not
the Hollywood or phony versions. I have found over the years that young people contemplating
going into the service, are often lacking in knowledge of what to expect or how
to act, under stressful environments. They seek role models or heroes to gravitate
towards, and to incorporate into their moral standards and fiber. Be that
person in their life. Because of materials like this having authenticity,
researchers and those looking for documentaries or to make a motion picture,
can utilize this book for reference. Your off spring will treasure this book as
a family memento.
ATTENTION: Any materials that you send
to this author, for inclusion into his book; it shall be implied by the author,
and submitter, that in sending all requested materials, that you are giving
your full permission to allow their publication into the authors book; with the

or consideration whatsoever, offered to you. That the author has your free and
unconditional permission to publish your picture and award papersIt is the
intent and purpose of the author to proudly display your picture and a copy of
your award for your service to this great country. Please feel free to e-mail the author if you
have any question. Thank you for your
service. THE LAST DAY AWARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED for inclusion is
October 4, 2013. To date, I have received 147 awards for publication.
