Surnames: Cragun
My uncle served in WWII, I can't find any record of him. Glenn Samuel Cragun from Pierce County, Washington. Probably signed up in Tacoma. DOB 12 Apt 1917.

I've verified with his brother plus I remember that he served in the Army. Uncle Howard said he thinks he was in ROTC.

Why wouldn't he show up in searches?

Most veteran's records are stored at the National Archives and Records Administration's National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR). This includes records of veterans who are completely discharged (with no remaining reserve commitment), or who are retired or have died...
Approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files pertaining to certain Army and Air Force service members were destroyed in a disastrous fire at NPRC (MPR) in 1973. Alternate record sources are used to reconstruct basic service information destroyed in the fire.

Hi, Send me an email as I may have contact that can find his enlistment papers. I would post it here but evidently if it is private information about a person, it isn't allowed.
