Military Medical Records from World War II until 1982 - Can anyone help with red tape?
I am so frustrated I don't know what to do!!
My father died in 1981 and I have since learned a great deal about him. He served during World War II in Italy and was injured. He spent 3 months at the 105th Station Hospital in Italy with a "head injury", "paralysis, general" and "Concussion".
In reviewing "new" military records sent to me recently, I was told by the NPRC that there are MORE of my father's records at a Veteran's Administration Storage Facility in Laguna Niguel, California. I was told they have been there since 1982, shortly after my father's death.
I have attempted to get these records for almost ONE year and have been unsuccessful. I am being told the "records are unavailable". I have contacted my local VA, the California VA, the Department of Veterans Affairs, my local Congressman, the Governor of California and even the President of the United States and have received the same answer - well, except from the Governor and the President - they have not responded.
Does anyone know of any other way to try to get these records??? I am desperate!! There is so much more to this story than I can explain here, but I NEED these records!! If anyone has any suggestions, please respond!! Thank you very much!!
