Is the Air Force "History of unit awards " file on line?

Air Force says the "Bush wore a ribbon that he did not earn" is now "disputed" - indeed disproved per UPI because we found a History Document?


But Personal File shows nothing - but the History file shows that 3724 got a ribbon during the time Bush was in basic training - so he gets to wear it once he has his wings. Interesting - is the fellow that we have such a problem with "lost" and then "found" documents?

Beyond the above item, does anyone believe the dates assigned in Bushes file to "Basic Traing" are dates he was there??

LOL -

Internet claim on Bush award disputed
"The Air Force and the White House last week in interviews with UPI said the allegations were misleading. White House spokesman Trent Duffy referred UPI to the Air Reserve Personnel Center in Colorado where Technical Sgt. Rob Mims is the spokesman.

Mims said the claims were "not true. I verified that (Thursday). Lieutenant Bush received Air Force Outstanding Unit Award while he was in basic training with the 3724th Basic Military Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas."

<snip>Mims said that personnel records in the military are often incomplete due to "clerical errors." "But I did verify that that unit did get the award while he (Bush) was there," said Mims. The sergeant added that the photo in question was "taken after pilot training." Mims said he confirmed his information about the medal with the Air Force's history office. "It's all there in black and white, we've spelled it out," said Mims.<snip>"
