ROH form

I just printed out the ROH Nomination form and realized that I cannot submit this form myself. It is a form for a "Nominator" to submit someone that he nominates for the ROH.

So this means that only someone that is already on the Roll Of Honor can nominate someone else to become a member of the ROH?

Re: ROH form

Not at all --- the Nominator can be , and usually is, one's self ---- you know where the info is and can write the story of a day that stands out in your combat life . Supporting pictures, additional inputs from witnesses, flight records, medal verifications , and a DD-214 are all supporting and required, if possible, evidence of eligibility . Keep in mind, it is not a "slam dunk" because you "think" you should be ROH but have nothing to support your eligibility ........

Larry, writing of my three combat letters was no easy task, took me awhile to get my head together, Thanks be to Mike D. and Bill R. & Det brothers for their support (do it or i'll kick your butt, if i recall Mikes kind words) Yet when i went forward to receive the ROH, Yorktown 2010, and sum Det 6 brothers were there, well just a very special time for this gunner....Best to you Wolf.."do it" nobody knows your storys as you yourself do....it's a "you" thing gunner.!

I need to do the same, got a Bronze star on one ambush by the Michelin plantation!
but, some SOB stole the citation and medal from my work space!
just got my DD214 back, guess I can get that too?

Re: ROH form

Pete, apply for a DD215 --- that is an upgrade DD214 that should/will show medals that are not on the DD214 ....... I believe you can request copies of your citations also ----- many of us left service right after HAL-3 --- you may be one ....... but in some cases, the citations never made it to your records ------ hopefully this will reconcile those omissions ------- Records section in St Louis may require a separate request for "Freedom of information " copies of your records which should be a complete file
