to learn that many records had been destroyed in a fire.
A few years after my dad passed away in 2002 I decided to do the family history...tried writing for his military records to see exactly where he was stationed.
He had mentioned a few things about France and Belgium but never got specific. Too painful for him to talk about, I guess.
Anyway, I wanted to know if he was in the Battle of the Bulge as a tank driver.
No luck. Records gone.
