(Citation Needed) – SYNOPSIS: Colonel (Air Corps) Thomas Parker Corwin, United States Army Air Forces, was awarded the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States in 1945, by his development of various special procedures for handling novel fiscal problems arising toward the end of the war and during mobilization. He contributed materially to the system developed to settle the accounts of U.S. repatriated prisoners of war, and helped draft the legislation covering the integration of temporary officers into the Regular establishment. The singularly distinctive accomplishments of Colonel Corwin and his dedicated contributions in the service of his country reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Army Air Forces.
