Hi Texas Tea...

First, I was never in the service and hubby is asleep or I would ask him so this is only my opinion.

I would see if any family member has a copy of his military separation papers (what nowadays is a DD214) which would give you basic info. Then, I'd do a search on WW2 Vet sites and see what you can find out.

We thank your Dad for his service to this great country! Good luck in your search.

I'm sure some around here can give you better and more info. Good luck in your search!

I keep like 25 copys of my DD214.
I don’t know what good they are but I know it’s best to keep them.

Try here for starters. Scroll through for campaigns if you know where your Dad was during WWII or you might try looking into some of your own family records for an old letter or an address book from that time with an APO address in it. I'm sure the folks at your local VFW would be very helpful in this as well. SandRat knows lot more about Army stuff than I do and most likely has more sources for you to check.

Now.......Aloha Teenster! Where ya been?
