Since being brought to my attention. Ive been working tirelessly to figure out how to get a soldier his rightful awards restored. Ive put in emails calls and even sent hand written letters. But i need help the only tickets raised that are viewed are ones that meet criteria. Which means either next of kin ( and obviously im not a dog ) or veterans ( which ive never served ) id appreciate if any vets here could help by submitting a form to the National Personnel Records Center if enough of us speak out we can get Chips service medal and possibly his never awarded purple heart reinstated. Day one the pupper put in the work of 40 by single handedly taking on a machine gun nest capturing 14 enemy combattants disabled 2 machine guns and saved his entire crew without firing a single shot or using any munitions at all thats bravery honor and effort worthy of atleast a navy cross IMO so getting his silver star back isnt asking for miricals
