Contact your local Veterans administration (It should be in your local phone directory in the Government or yellow pages, or check on-line)

try www.switchboard.com it is a nationwide phone book.  If you don't have luck there, there is an ad on teh right side that will help a person search for someone.  If you know how old Troy is, that will help.  Maybe it would be easier contacting Troy's parents.  Especially if he is/was in the Army.

you can find a list at The American War Library\n\nhttp://members.aol.com/veterans/warlib46.htm

+ There are no full lists. There are big holes of no information, only partial lists. What country are you asking about? Are you assuming that everyone on here is from the United States? What war, the US does not participate in all wars? Try Canadian Veterans association if you are from Canada. Try the Mexican Veterans association if you are from Mexico, etc. etc.

Howdy\n\nThis would be one of the more difficult tasks, to actually find a grid reference for the fire bases in Vietnam, during the war could be nearly impossible. \n\nI suppose you could go to the public record offices or the Corp of Engineers or the SeaBees, they should at least have work requests or documentation on the sites for proposed or operational fire bases. You could also get a map of the region, some vietnam history books and mark out the locations of US Army posts or positions, while this would be the more difficult, it would allow you get some information you may have missed from the public records. The last chance I suppose would be to actually google it? Google maps could also be a good idea.\n\nIf your serious, I would advise you to try and get your hand s on a period map. It will list the hill numbers, some thing the American military still use...\n\nUpdate!\n I found you a site with nearly every Firebase over there, Although you may still need a period map.\n\n http://www.landscaper.net/firebase.htm\n\nEnjoy!\n- Phil

Search for the war graves commision site or contact the Ministry of defence who will point you in the right direction. They have an archives department.

If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.

I was able to get some of my father's WWII records by starting at this site:\n\nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html\n\nWhat I got wasn't complete & I was informed that sometimes the records from that era are sketchy.\n\nGood Luck!

Try your local base, if you don't have a local base go to the VFW. \nThe VFW can help you locate him if you know his name and rank.

Try the local VFW posts in the area. As for actual military records, some may be hard to get due to a records fire at a Army Facility in 1973.
