My father-in-law was in the Korean War and was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor. Some say he received the medal of honor (could not find his name). He also was in a documentary film about the war. His name is James W.? Vines, dob January 4, 19?? Where should I look to find the facts and the documentary?
