Request for Award may be made by letter application to Commander, ARPERCEN, ATTN: DARP-VSE-A, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132-5200 (enclosing documentary evidence, if possible), to each member of the Armed Forces of the United States who, after 6 December 1941, has been cited in orders or awarded a certificate for exemplary conduct in ground combat against an armed enemy between 7 December 1941 and 2 September 1945, inclusive, or whose meritorious achievement has been other wise confirmed by documents executed prior to 1 July 1947. For this purpose, an award of the Combat Infantryman Badge or Combat Medical Badge is considered as a citation in orders. Documents executed since 4 August 1944 in connection with recommendations for the award of decorations of higher degree than the Bronze Star Medal will not be used as the basis for an award under this paragraph.

Award actions pertaining to Army retirees and veterans are normally handled by the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO; also known as NPRC. In order for NPRC to research a specific award action, the request normally must be submitted to them in writing. The request should include a copy of the former soldier's separation or discharge document and any other documents that support the request. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of correspondence that NPRC receives the requestor should allow a reasonable period of time for NPRC to research and respond to the request.
NPRC's address is: National Personnel Records Center, Attention: Army Reference Branch, 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132-5100.
