David, I also thought Dora's reply was on the rude side. If you will send me what information you have at the e-mail at <gen-search@cox.net> will see if I can find anything. I have forgotten what the name of the site is, but you can do a search for servicemen. I played with it once just for the fun and found my son at the various Navy stations around San Diego, California. Good luck with all of your endeavors.

Hi Hazel It is nice of you to help David. If your search does not work try this URL. http://community.military.com/buddy-finder/?ESRC=mr_footer.nl I know there is another search location through the DOD. Don't remember the URL but if you are not able to find the X-serviceman. Let me know and I will see if I can find the DOD site.

I can see you hardly want any help from just rude old me! Really, no matter what country he is from, an experienced researcher would neither have asked that on this list, or given no information about who he was looking for. Not to argue, but the pair of you are simply rude. Good luck, David. You'll not get far with this attitude! But it's your problem. Not mine. Now if you all want to hear me be off putting...

Children be nice. David was just looking for help. Granted he was on the wrong list and did not furnish much data.
