If he had a Purple Heart and a CIB from WWII, he should be eligible for a Bronze Star for that period. I know, it’s probably too little too late, but still, we need to recognize these heroes for what they were.

All WWII vets who earned a combat infantry badge were awarded the bronze star some time back. About 10 years ago, I requested replacement awards for my dad, who was also awarded the PH and CIB, and the Bronze Star was included, along with an explanation.
