My Father-in-law just passed, and earlier we found that he had received the DFS in Sept 1944. (401st. 614th bomb group under 2nd Lt. P.R. Koons.) I asked him what it was for and he just said: "They were handing out medals and I took whatever they gave me". My wife and I would like to find out why he received such a medal. Can anyone help. I have tried everything to no avail.

Sorry for your loss.
If you have the obit I would send it to the 401st BG as they do have a section in the quarterly PFG for this. What was his name
