Didn’t know that there was no DD 214 issued for WWII vets; my father a WWII vet, went in in 1939 and stayed until 1960 so he got a DD 214. Thanks for the heads up, Doc.

You're welcome, Brother! I didn't know it myself until several weeks ago when I got my father's records from NPRC. The state of records from that era is not good - the WWII records were the worst hit in the 1973 fire. Very bad - both of my Gavin uncles' records were lost - got basically nothing for my Uncle Jerry - a very limited sampling of my Uncle Joe's records.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
