Could someone help me get started looking for the service records of a World War II Navy veteran. I know there are some Internet sites which have been mentioned on some of the lists but can't seem to find those messages right now. Will appreciate all suggestions. Thanks so much. Mary Hart

Mary What you need is Standard Form 180 (SF180). You can get this form from any service organization, such as the DAV or American Legion, Service Officer. Your County may have a Veterans Service Officer also. Don't call the National Personnel Office (Government) in St. Louis cause they can't or don't have time to hunt it up without the proper paperwork (SF180). The VA can't tell you anything even though they may or may not have his records. If you can't get the form (SF180) from a local source, email me and I'll send you one. It won't cost you anything. I am a certified Veterans Service Officer in the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and have plenty of the SF180 forms.
