Swervie, quite some time ago you suggested that I get copies of my dad's service records. Mo, you gave me a link to a website to start the search. Well, it's been almost a year to the day since I started looking. I received a phone call today from Matt, an aide in Congresswoman Tauscher's office. I had written a year ago for help. Matt had some news - he said he's made numerous phone calls over the past six months, and found out that Dad's records were mostly destroyed in a fire at the records center. However, some of his records were salvaged, and he is sending me copies. He also said I could request copies of his medical records, and perhaps get his medals reissued. I will probably still not know very much more about his service than I know now, but it will be a little bit more than I have.
