Do you have his discharge? That may tell you something at least if he was in Europe or wherever. I know what you are going through my dad was injured while he was in Europe and we have never been able to get his Purple Heart because the records were burned.

Looking for WWII info on my Dad. My sister has contacted the archives and was told all his records were burned. Bummer............ I have a few letters he sent home during WWII - they include his APO address. Can this APO address be deciphered to figure out where he was stationed? Inquiring minds need to know............
