Gatorade, as an aside, if he was awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) he automatically is awarded the Bronze Star Medal. Anyone who served in the ETO and was awarded the CIB can apply for the medal if they haven't had it awarded yet. I found that out when researching my Dad's service. I would look into it, and have him apply if he's still alive, but the family can apply if he's passed on.
