You can get his entire service record also, then I can assist you in possibly locating buddies of his.

Personnel records center. ..St Louis ....the exact address is easily available

You're welcome. PM me with any questions. And when you get the service records the next step will be to do a one-site search for his buddies.

Dave, thanks for helping this young Lady. Now.....I have a request. I played poker with a few friends last night. I ended up losing my Azz, anyway you can help me find it, Brother?? I don't have any photos of it, but I did get it in 1947. I guess you would say it was a typical White Azz, you know, kinda fleshy, divided into halves with a big hole right in the center of it. It's pretty well worn out, as it has been through a lot Shet since 47. Any help would be appreciated Dave. But please hurry, as I'm constipated as hell........
