He did claim a pension (or whatever the correct terminology is) through Veterans affairs and I requested his service records a few weeks ago, hopefully it will shed some light. I never actually considered that side of it. He was definitely using his birth name when he enlisted. Thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
