In a Month where we celebrate Veterans and being a US citizen, this...
This is what we call country dedication, my rack on top, Army Staff Badge, My Dad on the left and my Uncle Denver, killed at Bastogne, and this doesn't show my LTC sister's honors...

I wish I knew my dad's. He never talked about it and his records were destroyed in the NPRC fire.
You are lucky to have this information.

Every few years I send a request and have periodically gotten a few more pages. Recovery is ongoing.

@b4cks4w @MelissaHDavis @Madken65 I’ve been trying for two years to get hubby’s service records and his medals…big fat nothing so far. Only a response that they got my request. 😞
@NorCalCherylLyn @MelissaHDavis @Madken65
I haven't gotten a lot and it's taken dozens of years, so hang tough.
What I did get pointed me to another archive which I'll take a field trip to when I can -- they don't take outside requests.
@b4cks4w @NorCalCherylLyn @Madken65
Boo on not taking outside requests.
