Tommie E Rogers Purple Heart Recipient

Can you tell me how to find my brother's birth record. I believe he was born in Paris, Logan Co., Ark. not Riverside County, California like his military records say. Riverside, California is where he registered for the military. In order to sign him up for "The Purple Heart Honor Roll" I need his information and I can't find it. I also can't locate his two certificate numbers for his Purple Heart's and they need that also. Any Idea's?

If you go to Yahoo and type in Purple Heart recipients you will get a list of all who received the Purple Heart, but there is no Tommie E. Rogers listed.

Thank you I will try that website. But that is very sad because Tommie received two Purple Hearts in North Korea. He was seriously wounded and was Killed in Action while fighting the enemy in North Korea 1951. He was 19 years old.

I found this on ancestry.com But I believe that the birth city is a mistake. I believe it is Paris, Arkansas. I just need the proof to enroll him in "The Purple Heart Honor Roll". I don't know maybe he is already on the it?
