Update: Some one has posted that THEY have records from NPRC... how they got them is unknown, but I still do not believe. Devil Dog's, check this out:

"I didn't believe it either, nobody in the local area that was in 'Nam about the same time remembers anything about him, but I've got the official records... Bronze Star with "V", (signed by President), Purple Heart with Gold Star. Two trips to Nam, first in Supply, second in CoA, 5th ReconBn,0311 Amphib Raid Unit. I'm not Marine so you may know what all that means. (We spoke English in the Air Force..LOL). He was discharged December 1968 at the rank of Sergeant. These are from NPRC, St. Louis."
