No the records for WWII where not destroyed in the fire in 1974. Records from the Spanish-American war where lost in the fire. I obtained my Fathers records in 1987 along with his original boot camp photo.

Thank you for this information. Can any relative request the military records since the person in question is no longer with us? I know what I have been told but have no way to verify.
