| Hi Fred,<br/> <br/> You can write to:<br/> <br/> National Personnel Records Center<br/> Military Personnel Records<br/> 9700 Page Avenue<br/> St. Louis, MO   63132-5100<br/> <br/> <br/> Request a complete 201 file, including all awards and medals. I did have a web link to download the form but I have misplaced it. I wrote to a friend that works there and ask him to tell me again how to get the form. I will let you know as soon as I have that information.<br/> <br/> Hope this helps.<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie<br/>

| Fred,<br/> <br/> The form you need is the SF 180 form. <br/> <br/> Here is the reply from my friend who works in military records. He has also included a new link which may interest everyone (I have not had time to look myself).<br/> <br/> I hope this helps you.<br/> <br/> Jackie<br/> <br/> &quot;Your friend can complete the form and fax it into 314-592-0533. I found this using nara/military in my search engine. There is a url for geneaolgy/military which I included.&quot;<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> [http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel/standard-form-180.html<br/>]  <br/> [http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/military/<br/>] <br/> <br/> Ps: Many people do not know they can fax the form. They mail it and because they get thousands of requests a day...it helps to find any way to help speed up the process even a little.<br/>

| Make sure you request a copy of any awards/medals that person received as a result of service. They are provided free of charge. I just got a set that my dad was awarded.<br/> <br/> Good luck.<br/>
