The Board has determined that the veteran's only active military service with the U.S. Armed Forces was from December 27, 1942 to April 26, 1946 and denied recognition of additional periods of active military service.
The deciding factor: The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has certified the veteran's service with the Philippine Recognized Guerillas from December 27, 1942 to June 20, 1945, and with the regular Philippine Army from June 21, 1945 to April 26, 1946.
