This may seem too simple, but the best way to find the information that you're looking for is to talk to other Vietnam Vets. Good places to find them is at a local VFW or a Veteran's hospital. \n\nMy father server in Vietnam as well, and has only recently opened up about what happened to him there. I've herd the same happening with many other Vietnam Vets too. Something about the recent Iraq War has triggered many of them to talk after more than 30 years of wanting to forget about what happened. \n\nI have family in Vietnam to include uncles that served on both sides of the war. They seem to be easier about letting the past go than the American veterans. One of my uncles served almost ten years in a communist prison, had all his arms and legs broken many times and had his eye ripped out of his head. Even he has let the war go into the past. \n\nAnotehr good place to look is the Internet. There are hundreds of Web sites that haev very good information about the Vietnam War with the ones supported by veterans having the most accurate information. Don't bother with the government supported sites - they're still lying aobut what happened. \n\nGood luck with your reseasrch!

You could try searching some of the on-line "find a person" websites.  For example for Canada you can go to www.canada411.ca and search for a name and if the person is listed you can sometiems get an address and phone number.  These sites include everyone who is listed with a telephone number.  For the US www.switchboard.com may be helpful.  If the person owns a business the yellow pages websites might help.  Sometimes just a google search will find people.\n\nI hope you find the person you are looking for.  I know of someone who found someone he searched for since 1945 - they got separated during WW II, couldn't find each other after the war, went on and led their lives, and found each other again about seven years ago.  So anything is possible.  Don't give up.

Call the Department of Veterans' Affairs.  You can also go to your county Veteran's Representative.  Contact your county clerk's office and they'll find your VA info.  Your father will have a form DD-214, which describes all his schools, his jobs, his medals and his honors, as well as his discharge information.  If nothing else helps, you can even contact your Congressman's  or Congresswoman's Office.  Ask whoever answers your call for the info, and how to contact them.  They might even put you on hold and get the info for you.  You can also contact any USMC Recruiting office and they will be more than happy to help.  Go to the VFW, American Legion or AM VETS post, or even Disabled American Veterans.  They will get you what you need.\n\nHope I helped you...

GEN. Stormin "Norman Schwarzkopf"! Or any of the veterans you can interview at your local V.A Center or retirement home. They are all historically significant, and have fascinating stories to tell :) Good luck

The Veterans Benefits Administration webpage \nhttp://www.vba.va.gov/\nwill have background, eligibility and contact information, or you can visit your local VA Hospital.\nIt is most helpful if you have his military records, discharge, whatever, to assist with processing

Do you have his rank or anything like that. If so you can ask for him/her by rank and name,  If not it will be difficult to find him/her. \nDo you know his branch of military too that would narrow it down.\nsorry this is all  i can tell you
