Getting the medals you deserved!

[j3rdinf]

I have a friend whos dad served in WW 2 during the war in ETO. About 40 days after

wars end in ETO he was shipped back to the U.S. Can anyone give the Regulations

for being awarded the WW 2 Occupation medal and the time one had to serve in Germany after May 9 '45 for this medal. Preferably the Reg. # and the time period.

So far I have seen, "no time needed", "30 days", and " 90 days". Cant find anything

with the Army Regs as to time needed for award. Thank you
