Subject: SSG RONALD KEITH DUPLECHAIN

Comments: Hello, I am looking for any information regarding my father, SSG Ronald Keith Duplechain. He passed away in an auto accident (along with a fellow soldier - I don't know his name) on 30 May 1982, and I never got to meet him. I don't have a lot of information about him. I know he was with the 703rd Main Bn in Germany from approximately 1975 until his death. I have his Report of Casualty form from the Department of Defense, and it says his date and place of last entry was 16 November 1979 from Ft. Hood, Texas. I don't know any of his family, so I don't even know where in Germany he was buried. I was hoping maybe someone knew him who could tell me where he might have been buried - if there was a cemetery close to his base where American soldiers were buried. He married a German woman named Martina and had a son named Daniel, and a month or two after his death, his wife had their daughter Jessica.
If anyone served with him or has any information about him, please contact me.
Thanks so much

We have gone through the National Personnel Records Center and were told these records have burned in the fire. They did send him BS W/V, BS, Parachutist Badge, United Nations Service Medal, and National Defense Service Medal.

We are trying to get his DV2 14 papers and a couple of medals (CIB, SS) and ranger tab. Without the records, they cannot issue the medals or tab because they have no proof. However, we have newspaper articles and photos of him receiving these medals. I've been told there might be a way of getting these papers and medals, but cannot seem to find someone to help. My dad is 74 years old and this has become very important to him lately. Please let me know if you can help in any way.
