I am seeking your help to kindly verify if my grandfather has any service records or any information related thereunto. My grandfather was born Aug. 12, 1921 at Umingan, Pangasinan, Philippines. He was once approved as American Citizen and enjoys pension being a Veterans, but then, when he passed away on March 5, 2004, since then, for more than 9 years, my grandmother never receives any benefits. We have been always denied eventhough we have a lot of documents as a proof that my grandfather was a Veterans and my grandmother was his only one and legal wife whom considered the beneficiary of my late grandfather. Any valid information you could provide related to my grandfather will be a helpful one. Any information is highly appreciated. Thank you and God bless us all.

Col. Edwin P. Ramsey recognition due last year. The system seemed to work when a few survivors of Bataan and Corregidor were repatriated during late 1945. They were properly processed and were awarded (but not limited to) the Bronze Star Medal (recipient of the Distinguished Unit Citation (Presidential Unit Citation); the BSM (First OLC) (recipient of the Combat Infantryman badge); and the CIB.       Guidelines were followed by the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve post WWII, awarding the BSM [with] the CIB to an untold number of veterans regardless of Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and unit assignment.       The most recent veteran of Bataan and Corregidor was presented the CIB by Congressman Patrick Kennedy (RI) January 2003. The AAF veteran served with the First Provisional Air Corps Regiment during the battles.       While Colonel Ramsey was on the doorstep to a place only known by God, an attempt to continue the process that had been applied for so many years, failed. The Army Board denied Colonel Ramsey contrary to a list of items, including the U.S. Constitution. An appeal was submitted, but the veteran could wait no longer.       Perhaps he will be recognized for his earthly deeds by the Almighty.

Interersted to determine what unit Dagucon was assigned, and possible documentation providing evidence. Robert Scouts - Taps - Capt.
