If you are very lucky among your father's papers there should be a DD form 214, Record of Service and Discharge (may not be that exact form number but the title should be similar). That plus what you already know and this link maay just get you what you are looking for.

Also, you might want get in touch with the nearest American Legion Post to you. They may be able to help get you to the right person in the maze of letter openers who actually knows how to help.

I believe I do have a copy of his discharge form. My mother gave me copies of those papers. Thanks. I'll check into the American Legion. I think there is a post in the next town over. I'd just like to find out if there are more details available about his service, such as where he had been.
