J.P., although I can't find the rejection letter right now, I know that I made the request on the right form because an old veteran friend gave me the form and the address to send it to.It went to St. Louis.It came back with some kind of response saying they could only give the informtation to the next of kin.I had explained on the initial request that I was one of 6 nieces and nephews who were his closest living relatives.At that time, however, I didn't have his serial number.I have another form 180 right here that I got from a veteran's organization.The man who gave it to me said I could only get the records if I claimed I was his daughter and not his niece.
Maybe I can try the on-line link you just gave me.Maybe I can get the records now that I have his serial number.
Also, I will take your advice and request the IDPF.
Thanks again.
