Billhilly is correct he was awarded the Good Conduct medal. At the time the Air Force was still using a lot of Army stuff. Uniforms were beginning to change, Enlisted ranks were changing to the current ones you see today. The Good Conduct was awarded but still using the Army's medal.

The Air Forces' GCD was not created till 1963 but it was retroactive to replace the Army decs still being used. A good rule of thumb, always believe a DD214.

"Billhilly is correct he was awarded the Good Conduct medal."

I never once denied he was awarded the medal. In fact, I offered an explaination for how it could have been awarded. I was merely pointing out to him that the facts listed in the article that started this thread are factually correct. As is his DD214.
