OK, I'm an airhead tonight. I read your message as you had not been told. Duh. There wasn't a general announcement though. David, how did you find out? I'm curious because they had no way of knowing which records at the time and it might help find other records.

I requested my records be brought out of storage 3 times in 3 separate requests so I could get medical care, but was finally told about the fire and that mine must have been destroyed in the blaze.

Go through your local VA & American Legion if they are the ones that said it then go through the NARA. I got part of my husband's records.......a very small part because he's were sealed :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Stevens" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] where >I requested my records be brought out of storage 3 times in 3 separate > requests so I could get medical care, but was finally told about the fire > and that mine must have been destroyed in the blaze. >
