Is it possible to get medical records from the VA for an ancestor? And if so, how? Would appreciate any help or advice.

It is located at: One Veterans Drive Minneapolis , MN 55417 And their web site is: http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/facility.asp?ID=90 The "VA" hospital has been there a long time.
