I'm sorry I don't have the web site address. Also has your great uncle been deceased more than 25 years? If not you need to be an immediate relative i.e. spouse or child to get military records. My father tried to get his brother's military records of his naval career during WWII but since he died in 1989 and is not an immediate relative - a no go to receive any info. Being a brother does not apply since his son & wife are still living. Ann
