My late uncle, Dale James Morgan ( U.S. Army), recieved a Bronze Star presented by a general, in the field, in the Phillippines in WWII. I've been trying to find war records regarding him to no avail.
Any information anyone can provide me with regarding Mr. Morgan's service would be greatly appreciated.
In everyone's life they meet a great number of men, and a far lesser number of Great Men.
Mr. Morgan was one of those Great Men.
Help Us to Honor His memory, With information regarding his service to his beloved country.

He was from Harlan Iowa, I thought. But it could have been Shelby Iowa, I suppose.

You mean Dale J Morgan from Shelby Iowa? (or Dale from Missouri?)

Most military records (of that time frame) were lost in a fire. IF his survived a person qualified under the current release policy can get a copy.
Access to Records by Veterans, Next-of-Kin, or the Veteran's Representative
General. Copies of most military and medical records on file at NPRC (MPR), including the DD Form 214, Report of Separation (or equivalent), can be made available upon request. Veterans and next-of-kin of deceased veterans have the same rights to full access to the record. Next-of-kin are the unremarried widow or widower, son or daughter, father or mother, brother or sister of the deceased veteran
