You may want to check out or put an advertisement in the back of a few military magazines. (DAV, Legionnaire, VFW, WWII, Military, etc.) This is a good way to find if there is any current reunions for an outfit. Also by posting an advertisement in them, it may bring forward some one who knew the person or outfit. Below is information about military records, personnel and units.
