They had to find him first? The coward was probably AWOL.
I'd notified DOD of an address change just a few weeks before getting my final discharge (after 6 years of obligation), but they used my old address, and the piece had to be forwarded.
The letter carrier who marked up the piece ran a ballpoint pen through the glassine window and defaced my discharge.
This was done on purpose by someone who didn't like veterans of that period.
I had him fired!
