Mary, You might try the VA, they have a 800 number you can call. I have received my father and grand father's files that way. Since there was a fire in St. Louis that burned a lot of veterans files I was able to learn a lot in the medical files,that was available else where. Be forewarned that it can take months to get these records.

Richard, Here is a site you can try. I don't know anything about it, but look and see. http://www.cem.va.gov/records.htm Maxine Kentucky --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions for finding military records. I'm downloading the form mentioned and plan to try the 800 number for the VA the first of the week. Mary Hart
