Picked this up at the flea market yesterday. Thought it was neat since he was a River patrol Squadron one guy and it was signed by the Secretary of the Navy. Posted Image

Very nice find indeed !! It appears as if the U.S. Navy & USMC didn't award anywhere as many BSM's as compared to the U.S. Army. [ At least in my opinion. ] Too bad it wasn't awarded for a specific act, as then you could really document it. It's still an awesome find.

 

Best, dpast32

Might be worth filing a FOIA for his BSM citation(s). I've been pretty lucky when filing specific FOIAs with Navy and Coast Guard files from Vietnam. It doesn't cost anything and you might find something really interesting.
