3. It was terribly sad...

Five years after my dad passed away, I got into doing the family tree. I wanted information on my dad's military service during WWII.

Specifically to see if he had been involved in the Battle of the Bulge, since he spent some time in Belgium.

Wrote to the military records place and received a letter back saying there had been a fire...

It was something he didn't talk about much when he was alive. I was hoping to get some info after he passed.
