Need advice on CIB

[Walt's Daughter]

I replied to my friend and said,

 

"Thank you once again. Will write to them this week and see what I can find out. Boy it certainly appears to ruffle a few people and seems to have a lot of mystery attached to it to. One gentleman told me that maybe I shouldn't even "go there" and that I was opening a whole can of worms. Well I guess I'll just have to shake a few feathers and rattle a few cans. <grins and smiles>

 

I will keep you posted. Can't wait to hear what they have to say."

 

He wrote back,

 

"It does sound like a can of worms, but probably one that should be opened..."

 

My response,

 

"Yes, I do plan on opening the can. I think all the vets who earned one need to have the facts clarified. It's a shame when people go around and try to dispute what happened. Especially those who weren't there and don't have all the facts straight. So I take on another job and hopefully I rectify the wrongs. All I can do is try. Essayons! The motto fits. Guess I got the "engineer" genes. :-)"

 

"Essayons indeed! You will be doing a great favor to some deserving veterans if you can ascertain that they are entitled to the CIBs they have--or should have... I agree that decorations being disputed by those who weren't there is reprehensible."

 

And so the journey begins...
