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...

Not sure if this will help, but my father is also deceased my son and I wanted to know more about his military career.  We found a web site to request his military records.  I cannot remember the website but I have the mailing address.  It took about 2 weeks and his records came to me in the mail.\n\nNational Personnel Records Center\nMilitary Personnel Records\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nI am sure if you do a search on the name you will find the web site, but you have to have his social security number.  I truly hope this helps you out.  I am in your shoes, ever since I remarried a US Army soldier and we now live on a military base, my 14 year old son has taken a big interest in finding out about my dad's military career.  \n\nGood luck to you:)\n\nGOD BLESS OUR TROOPS\n\nP.S.  I just found the website, www.archives.gov

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

Try sending an inquiry to the Marines.  They should be able to give you his adress.

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.

www.archives.com\nThe US National Archives. You can request copies of Military Records. You have to pay for them but you can get his record.

Do you have ANY idea where he was stationed?\nState? Name of Base or installation?\n\nOnce you figure that out there is a "Locator Service" on the bases to help people find individual Marines.  Being a casualty, may make it a little more difficult as they are not going to just release info about a fallen Marine to just anyone. \n\nIf there is a Marine Recruiting Office near you you may start there.  Although not their job, recruiters can often find out, or at least point you in the general direction to getting your questions answered.       \n\nIt can't be too difficult to figure out where he was stationed, there aren't many Marine Corps installations to choose from.  I think there may be a website to help locate Marines as well.

At the top of the USMC website, there is a LOCATOR link. It gives you contact info for the Marine Corps World Wide Locator.  There is also a list of online locators on the same website.
