Yes, during the fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis in July 1973, a significant number of Korean War veterans' records were lost. The fire destroyed approximately 16 to 18 million military personnel records, particularly those of veterans who had served between 1912 and 1960. This loss has made it difficult for some veterans and their families to obtain necessary documentation for benefits and claims.
