My grandfather's records were also lost in the fire so I have limited knowledge of his service. But I have learned quite a bit about their service through studying the units they were assigned to.

After waiting about 5-6 months, I finally got the dreaded "it may have been destroyed in the fire" letter. They gave me an option to send $20 for a copy of the documents with no guarantee of the quality. Because it was my dad and I was curious (and he's not here any longer to ask questions of), I sent off my check. When I got the document, I couldn't read a thing. :-(Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.com
