I hope that he registered his DD214 with your local clerk if not, go to 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 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.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.

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!

you can write the government or the branch of service requesting information. under the "freedom of information act" Also if you tell them you are his child and have proof that should help you out more. \n\ni know when i was in, the military did not look fondly on any military person not doing what is thier duty as a soldier or family man.

The first thing you do is list everything YOU know about him.  Then you ask your mother and the rest of your family.\nIf he has family, ask them.  Then find out if Summerset Kentucky has a newspaper archive.  If so, research that.  Check the internet.  Sometimes the strangest things can be found.\nGood Luck

you might try contacting the USNA or the Navy for biographical information.

You'll have to find his family and keep in contact with them.\n\nUnless that soldier has given the Army written permission to talk specifically with you, the Army will tell you nothing about him.

"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
