Had a chance to do something reading. Your grandfather has an amazing story of his actions during the war. Had an opportunity to see the write up that was posted just recently in the Texas news story. Very interesting, willing to help you. First on his discharge papers did they put his unit that he landed with or the replacement unit he ended up with after recovering from his wounds. Secondly on the discharge paper you may see the silver star is their anything listed after that. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Elliot Schneider

3 people found this helpfulDear Mr. Wank,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the listings of Silver Star recipients prepared by the U.S. Army but were unable to locate a Richard J. Wank on any of the listings. When you receive his DD-214, it should have general order information pertaining to the award. If so, please provide us with that information and we will gladly search for the general order.
We hope this is helpful.

jrwank Jun 10, 2019 9:39 AM (in response to Rebecca Collier)I can send you the paperwork I have with evidence to the contrary (an original issuance of medals from the Army, circa 1994 that grandpa requested-- it was with his medals) but need to know where; Elliot already has seen it, if you are connected.
