Comments: I am looking for anyone who may have information regarding the bronz
star my dad received during the korean war. His name was James Edward
Bloom. He was in the first platoon battery A 87th Armored Artillery
Battalion. He was a Heavy Weapons infantryman, MOS 1745 leaving camp
roberts on 4/23/1953. I found the bronz star after his death. He never
made mention of it, and the military said all of his records were lost in a
fire many years ago.

Comments: Seth's brother, Ken, has asked me to see if I could find out the details of his brother's death. Where? How? Any details would be helpful and appreciated. Uncle Sam has no information, they claim that his records were lost in the fire. If anyone knew him, please contact me, charlesd@cqservices.com I will relay the information to Ken. Thanks
