However... I thought that he did not qualify because while in the Big Green, he had a non-judicial punishment, which negated the Good Conduct. The National Defense medal was for those who served in theater. He was in Korea. In fact, he was wounded there. However... the armistace had been signed. So, the trip to the hospital courtesy of a North Korean sniper did not count...&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">But, I will read the documents again if only because it would nice to have a box to put the medals in.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Cadet James Moschgat &quot;was reading a book about World War II and the tough Allied ground campaign in Italy,&quot; when he read an incredible story of a private William Crawford who was presumed killed in action and whose father received the Medal of Honor for his son. Unknown to the Army and his family, Crawford had been captured by German soldiers and held as a prisoner of war for nineteen months until the war ended. In that book was a picture of a man who resembled his squadron janitor. Moschgat shared this with the other cadets and confirmed the story with Crawford who replied similar to &quot;Yep, that&#039;s me.&quot; When asked why he did not talk about it, Crawford said, &quot;That was one day in my life and it happened a long time ago.&quot;---</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Crawford" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Crawford" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Crawford</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
