They are probably destroyed. Hospitals only keep medical records for 5 years if the file is inactive. Unless you have had a history of cancer, are a child at time of exam, or have mammograms. I would assume the millitary is the same

Call your local VFW hall.  Nothing but veterans in that group and I am sure they would love to help.\n\nCoach

"A fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis in 1973 damaged some service members records. Those with the heaviest damage were Army records from 1912 to 1959; some 1947 to 1963 Air Force records in surnames I through Z were less seriously affected. Many of these records are duplicated at other locations such as the VA and the military finance office, and therefore can be reconstructed."\n\nTry the VA for your father's records.\n\ncopied and pasted from stolenvalor.com

And!\n\nAsk the Army for a copy, it should be in your records, or in his.\nWestmoreland is dead I am pretty sure so he isn't a source.

sorry i cant give my address already to many strangers got due to my picture flying through the internet. but try to find a friend that happens to be a soldier near by his AKO acct has acces to the information you request. Hopefully he/she is willing to help you. the army is a big place so unless you know what unit he went to its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.I used to see this all the time in Bragg, people would ask for their son/brother etc if we know them . And we keep telling them without their unit or MOS we cant narrow down anything due to our post being the size of a city.

The United States allows people to sometimes pull up records of other people in the army. You may want to see his records if they allow this

If your a US veteran, go to your local County Veterans Service Officer and request a Standard Form-180 (request for military records)\n\nHow to Request Military Service Records or Prove Military Service\n\nMilitary personnel records can be used for proving military service, or as a valuable tool in genealogical research. Most veterans and their next-of-kin can obtain free copies of their DD Form 214 (Report of Separation) and other military and medical records several ways:\n\nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html\n\n\nWrite to The National Personnel Records Center\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, Missouri 63132 \n\n\nWrite a Letter to Request Records \n\nIf you are not able to obtain SF-180, you may still submit a request for military records. Requests must contain enough information to identify the record among the more than 70 million on file at NPRC (MPR). Certain basic information is needed to locate military service records. This information includes:\n\nThe veteran's complete name used while in service \nService number or social security number \nBranch of service \nDates of service \nDate and place of birth may also be helpful, especially if the service number is not known \nIf the request pertains to a record that may have been involved in the 1973 fire, also include: \nPlace of discharge \nLast unit of assignment \nPlace of entry into the service, if known. \nWhile this information is not required, it is extremely helpful to NPRC staff in understanding and fulfilling your request: \nThe purpose or reason for your request, such as applying for veterans benefits, preparing to retire, or researching your personal military history. \nAny deadlines related to your request. We will do our best to meet any priorities. For example, you may be applying for a VA-guaranteed Home Loan and need to provide proof of military service by a specific date. \nAny other specific information, documents or records you require from your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) besides your Report of Separation (DD Form 214). \nPlease submit a separate request (either SF 180 or letter) for each individual whose records are being requested.

I am trying to gauge whether your Mom is German-born at an American hospital or just German born.  If she is German born contact the German Embassy in DC or the nearest German Consulate General for assistance.  If she is American born contact the American Embassy in Berlin or the nearest American Consulate General to her birth town for assistance.  If it was an American military hospital call the hospital or have your Congressperson help you get the forms.  They will have a person in there office dedicated to veteran's affairs.  Good luck.

I am a veteran that uses the VA regularly.\n\nFor non-emergency problems you must go to a VA Hospital or VA Clinic. Since  it is not life threatening they will either make you an appointment or have you wait until a doctor can see you between appointment.\n\nFor emergency medical reasons (life threatening) like a heart attack etc. you are to go to the nearest Emergency Medical facility (Hospital), civilian or Military. The VA will pay for this care. There is a string attached though.\n\nThe string is: If you have not seen your assigned VA doctor in 2 yrs or more the VA will not pay.

You did not mention what branch of the service he had served so act appropriately as you read.  You need his DD214 I would think that back then it might have registered it with the country clerk.  You can check or go ahead and order one from http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive his 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.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.
