How would I go about finding a relative's record of service in the Marines? If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks everyone! I filled out the proper form.
This is a path that can be taken from your home, if the veteran is deceased and you are his SON:
Go here to start: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/
Request Copies of Military Personnel Records
Welcome to our online military personnel records request system.
Use our system to create a customized order form to request information from your, or your relative’s, military personnel records. You may use this system if you are:
* A military veteran, or
* Next of kin of a deceased, former member of the military
o The next of kin can be any of the following: surviving spouse that has not remarried, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother.
Good luck — let me know if you hit a dead end..
