How to Request Military Service Records or Prove Military Service

The National Personnel Records Center is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to get copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents, including Discharge Documents DD 214.
Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time.
Former military personnel and their dependents can get more information at the National Archives website. Military 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:

Comments: I was wondering if you could release my father's non-classified records to me, his daughter. Unfortunately my father and mother divorced when I was 13 and my four younger siblings and I never really got to know anything about him, partly because of the separation and partly because he didn't talk about his childhood or military service. I know he served 3 tours honorably in Vietnam, and flew A-4s and A-6s. He got out of the Marine Corps soon after I was born in Bethesda, Md, 1975. I would like to be able to give my brothers and my sons something to know about my father. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Comments: I recently became aware my Father "Ted" had a child with a beautiful woman by the name of Ingaborg. I do not know her surname, but understand she lived in Bamburg. My GI Father was stationed in Bamburg, Nuremburg and Crailsheim areas from 1961 to 1964. He left Germany in Feb, 1964. I am led to believe there was at least one son, possibly a second. I have one sister and we would love to meet our German sibling(s) and Ingaborg, in the hope she is still alive. I will be visiting Europe the end of July (09) and would welcome the chance to meet. Please respond!!

Subject: RESEARCH

Hi, very good website you have, enjoyed the reading. I'm currently researching my grandfather's information during WWII and it's like pulling teeth. I currently have his Silver Star and Purple Heart(3 clusters) and the other medals have been distributed throughout the family. Now trying to find the certificates that go with them is another story that tells why he received all his medals. We do have a few of his letters still which is no easy feat with this family. The letters are when he was in Company A, 7th Infantry 3rd Division, the first letter was dated August 21, 1944 from Italy and the second is December 14, 1944 from France.
Going through St. Louis is like pulling teeth, they say because I'm a grandchild, I'm not the surviving child, even when I doing all the work getting information. Also, my grandfather won the "croix de guerre " I believe that is what my father said. I don't know much about the Army, so I'm reaching out to those that do. My grandfather's name was Patrick Dunn and I believe a 1st Sergeant or something like that during that time.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: 3rd Infantry Question

Comments: Hello, I am doing research on an uncle who served with the 3rd Infantry during WWII, and was killed during the Invasion of Sicily. I would like to find out more about him and found your website on the net last night. I have already sent for his personnel records from St. Louis and they were very limited. I think his original ones were destroyed in the 1973 fire. I was wondering where else I might look. I would like to get After Action Reports from the battle he was killed in, or perhaps General Orders for that event. Would the 3rd Infantry keep records on him? I also need to get a confirmation of his Purple Heart. I often wonder if there are still people alive who may have know him in the 3rd Infantry. Could you please help me to get the information that I need, or tell me where I can. Thank You Very Much for reviewing my letter!
Sincerely,

I don t know if somebody will be able to help me in my research, but I hope so.

I am currently looking for information about my great father who was Lithuanian. Deported by the Germans on the building of the Atlantic Wall, he managed to escape and then joint the US Army in Normandy. His name was Germanavicius Klemensas. Since he was with the US forces liberating the city of Rheims, and according to my searches, I guess he was member of the XXth corps of the Third US Army. I don t know anything else. I would just like to know how and when he joint the Patton's Army. I simply hope that someone shall be able to provide me with some help.

Comments: I’m trying to obtain more information on my father’s military history during WWII. It’s been 15+ years since he has passed away and he continues to be an important part of my life/memories. Any help in locating additional information on Company I, 30th Infantry, 3rd division would be greatly appreciated. My dad entered the service Sept 1st 1943 and was discharged December 20, 1945. Was part of the Rome-Arno, Southern France and Rhine Land campaigns. He was wounded April 26, 1944 and the second time on October 1st, 1944, which took him home on medical discharge. . . . I still remember as a boy in the late 50’s where a piece of shrapnel just then worked its way out of my dad’s leg. I still have it!
Thanks you for any advice on how I can learn more of the campaigns and what my dad went through.

His papers said he was in the Naples-Tunisia, Rome-Arno, Rhineland and Southern France T.O.. I have also located pics of him and some buddies and in the pics (which I will send copies) he was
wearing Corporal stripes. He said very little to us about the war. He did tell us bits and pieces
like he remembered seeing Audie Murphy one time drinking a cup of coffee and he was busted for
creating a disturbance in a medical tent while seeing a Dentist. I also have some of his service
ribbons that I can't find pics of. One has 2 green borders and a solid orange center and another
is blue with 2 thin yellow stripes on the border and 2 thicker yellow stripes near the center. I
also found 2 small stars in his ribbon medal box and wanted to know if these are campaign stars
and would they be displayed on his E.A.M.E ribbon. My dad passed away in Nov. 1994. Any information you can provide or where I might be able to find it would be appreciated,
Thank You.

Private First Class O'Donnell was killed in this action."

He describes vividly and in great detail driving under strafing by the Luftwaffe, at night, off-road, through forests and woods, across streams, and through mud. He remembers the towns and villages he drove through. He has stated several times that he was awarded 5 bronze stars, a silver star and the Purple Heart.

Subject: Ernest Ray Slater, WWII soldier

Comments: I am trying to learn more about my Grandfathers time in the Army. I received after his death a few military insignias but not enough to identify what aspect of the 3rd ID he was in. I have a medal of good conduct, a purple heart, and a pow medal. I know he was a POW. I did hear that the military lost a lot of records in the 1970's due to a fire. I know that my grandfather was entitled to other medals but I don't which. I remember my grandfather telling me that the state department attempted to give him medals and he ran them off his property. He was a bitter old man most of my life and never talked about WWII. But curiosity is peaked and if you can provide any information about Ernest Ray Slater and his military career or a path for me to locate information, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you, Steven Edward Slater

Subject: Charles John Kuhlmann info

Comments: My dad passed away last month at 86. This lead to a complete review of all the house, picts, records etc. It also brought back memories of how I was named John Charles Mitchell. My folks named me John Charles as a tribute to Charles John Kuhlmann (a Johns Hopkins ROTC college buddy). The order of the names was reversed in respect to Charles J Kuhlmann's parents. I have a
letter of appreciation from his mom to my mom about my naming. It was my honor to visit Charles Kuhlmann's grave site in Epinal with my folks in 2000.

Almost all of the Hopkins ROTC crowd have passed away now. One of the few left actually dated Charles just before he went overseas. She has forwarded a number of letters that he sent her from the front.

I would greatly appreciate any information or sources of info on the history, battle record, etc. of Charles service leading up to his death in action on Oct 30, 1944. Where did he fight and where did he fall. I remember my Dad commenting on how he had been luck that he had ducked just before the round came at him so he was wounded in the lower back. He said that Charlie had not been that lucky.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
