Steve, I will send you the info on getting military records when I get
home and talk to my wife. She just got my Dad's WWII records for our
family archive. It is a fairly simple process as I recall, but it does
entail a couple of faxes, or letters. Be fore warned, there was a fire
at one of the DD's warehouses in the 60's and many records were lost.
There is a gap in my Dad's records because of this.
