If you have requested military records in the past and was told there were none, which has happened to me for myself, Do so again. I happened to have copies--before they seemed to have been lost. They are moving records to new buildings in St Louis and Illinois and you know when you move sometimes stuff is found. I am not saying this is the case, but if there is any evidence you have on hand,for a record, send it forward. Always, always keep copies of any correspondance between the center and yourself and send it with the request. Vets have to keep in mind the people working these jobs can be from a generation that is different minded from the past--young folks.
