All of my military records were lost but you should try the local VA because sometimes records were transferred to local VA offices for various reasons. If he was hospitalized you should check the VA hospital as well. I wish they had a depository for "unofficial records" because I could provide them with every base I was assigned to, date of rank, Korean War activities, etc. Then they would at least have something.
