How do you find your dads military records?

Your father's records are held at the National Archives. If he served in the USMC or Navy then you will be able to acquire a complete personnel file that will show you where he served and what he did. Unfortunately, if he served in the Army or AAF during WWII, chances are that his personnel records were lost in the '73 fire. The only way to recover these is going to be through hiring a researcher to reconstruct the records for you. This will allow you to see where your dad served and what he did during the war.
