I’ve requested, the files were lost as of about 7 years ago. Thanks!

  >the files were lost as of about 7 years ago. A lot of that going around. My wife's records were never archived. When a soldier separates from service, if they file a disability claim (at that time) their records are forwarded to the soldier's home VA office, instead of St. Louis. When my wife separated, someone forged her signature on a disability claim application. No one knows why. We have a copy of app and it clearly isn't her signature. The challenge is her records never arrived at any VA office she might have been associated with. We contacted them all. A US House rep opened an inquiry but even after a few years, nothing was learned. After 10 years we gave up.

    > A lot of that going around. I got pretty lucky with my grandfather and got about 150 pages of records from his time as a Naval aviator right after WWI. But when I tried to get my great uncle's records from WWII, all I got was a single page discharge record. Fortunately I've got his war letters from Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Tokyo Bay that fill in quite a bit of info.
