With this info you can try to get his service record. Directions on how to do so can be found at this site:

They had a big fire in 1977 and the odds are against you, but it's worth a try.
You can also send for his Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF). As others in the forum have addressed, the info found in an IDPF can be graphic. If you pursue this resource, be prepared for that possibility. Send your request to:
US Total Army Personnel Command
ATTN: TAPC-PAO (FOIA)
200 Stovall Street
Alexandria, VA 22332-0404
Be sure to cite the Freedom of Information Act in your request.
