JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Since you know his unit, try checking with the Army's Center for Military History. They could potentially have tons of pictures and artifacts of the unit from your Grandfather's era that would interest you, or even be able to provide you with more clues such as former CO's our friends that you can try and look up if they're still alive.

This is a really good idea.

You're kind of bottle-necked here OP. Because that fire happened in the 70's, there's not going to be a chance of digital backups. If you can find some of his coworkers (and trusting those vets are still alive). Even if they are deceased, their surviving family may have some overlapping records that mention your grandfather. You could consider hiring a private investigator to help with that last park. That could easily run you $30+ an hour though, likely more expensive than that $190 fee you mentioned.
