My late father's WW2 records were apparently among those destroyed in the '73 Records Center fire. I have posted on my web site the Certification of Military Service the Records reconstructed from alternate sources. They state this can be used for any purpose for which the original discharge document was used, including the application for veterans benefits. http://www.ibiblio.org/cizewski/cert/cert.html Leonard H.
