Maybe he got SS and you can find it somehow that way? Or maybe through his bank, and then find the military records through his SS? That’s if his military number was even his SS number. Peace and calm to your family, especially your mom.
Hi, thanks but no. My cousin did a lot of contacting VA and so on. SSNs were not used until ‘69, and he was well before that. They did not retroID either.
Luckily, per my last post here, we did find his ID, apparently!
