For almost 20 years I've been trying to track down information on my uncle who was killed in Korea during Operation Killer. He was CO of A/1/9 2ID. Razor was helpful in connecting me to his USMA class historian (SF COL Dexter) and some other good sources.
I found GOs that showed him receiving 2 BSMs(V), one posthumously. But, he also received a Silver Star posthumously and I can not find a citation for that because his files were lost in the '73 fire. Most of the evidence points that his last BSM was upgraded to the SS. My question is, would he have lost the 2nd BSM and OLC if it was upgraded and, if so, would there be orders to that effect?
