Hope he knows what he's talking about!!!
I have yet to see any reference to the big fire that occurred at the St Louis military records center in 1972. My husbands records and hundreds of thousands total were destroyed in that fire. As a result, the affected vets can only get a substitute form DD214. In some cases, vets have had to rely on American Legion or VFW rosters to get vet benefits.
Can we expect Kerry to make a great revelation that this is why he "cannot release all records."
