I'm confused - at first, you said Dale Putnam; now you've changed it to Dale Remus. Which is the correct surname?

On Ancestry.com, I can see that there are a couple of write-ups about him, but they are 'private,' so you'll need to ask permission to see them from Mary Stuart Fain and Timothy McCrohan. Do you know them?
I doubt you'll be able to find the citations for his air medals online, unless a family member has uploaded them. That would certainly be valuable information.
You may be able to get further info by requesting his service record from https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/military-personnel
