My cousin just got the response back from the military - they think the records on her dad were destroyed in that 1973 fire. Is there anywhere else we can get information? What we know is that he was inducted into the service Aug 31 1943 name Oda M.Hart at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. Enlisted for the duration of the War, Civil occupation: concrete mixer-operator, etc. We know he worked in Baltimore Maryland for a time on airplanes. He was living in a trailer and in the military. We are told he was in an army hospital until about February-March of 1946. His knee was injured when his tank ran over a mine (during the time he served under Patton). He was killed in a motorcycle accident less than a month after he got out of the service. I had his serial number but didn't put it into my family tree file and can't find it right now.
