Among his personal belongings, did he still have his dog tags? His service number would be on that. Did he belong to the VFW or the American Legion? The number would be on his application when he first signed up.

He has just died (without offspring) and we would like to learn the # in order to get him a military headstone. Can anyone help aim me to a website or place that might be able to locate it?
