[or-roots] NARA MILITARY RECORDS

[CKlooster at aol.com]

Several years ago I was assisting a disabled WWII veteran who needed   a copy 
of his discharge papers to be eligible for VA medical treatment.   After 
completing and submitting a lengthy application form, the response was  that his 
files were destroyed in a fire at the military records  center.  So it would 
seem that at least some military records from the WWII  era are not available.  
It would be interesting to know how many are  affected.  It would also be 
interesting to know why there seem to be so  many fires in archives and records 
centers!
