Since Dr. Boylan has Colonel Wilson's DD-214, [snip] I'm not a supporter of Wilson or Aldrich, but I would like to point out that as former Air Force pilot and now member of the Air Guard, I've never heard of the "Air Medal of Honor." I suspect that Colonel Wilson may have claimed an Air Medal, and someone else erroneously appended "of Honor." The Air Medal is quite an honor, but is distinct from the Medal of Honor. If he was in the AF, they'd certainly have a record of his awards and decorations, but I don't think awards are listed on the discharge form and I'm not sure the AF would release his records without a family member's request. --Tucker --------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 09:31:58 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: Col.

I think you have contradicted yourself, Jan. The *AIR* Medal of Honor is NOT the "highest military honor," I believe that the CONGRESSIONAL Medal Of Honor is clearly what you are thinking of. Therefore, the Medal of Honor site WOULDN'T have him listed. Erric L.
