I am really surprised they can't ID him by his SSN. <br /><br />After showing a friend of hers the copies of my grandfather's military records I sent her, Mom called me to inform me I had requested them from the wrong place and needed to try again from the "right" place. Other than the NPR, I have no clue where that might be.<br /><br />Honestly, I would be tempted to try again.<br /><br />-HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524836222243368584.post-48340957715058848872009-10-21T14:28:56.338-06:002009-10-21T14:28:56.338-06:00Tracy - don't you just LOVE the red tape that ...Tracy - don't you just LOVE the red tape that you must put up with from these folks? It's as if everyone is wearing blinders and can only see what ever is right in front of them - no searching for the real thing. I went through so much to get my Grandfather's medals replaced - and after months of going back-and-forth and them telling me they couldn't find his records (which I had originals of!) I actually had to contact my congresswoman and then they were all over it. It's very frustrating that they actually seem to NOT want to help you. I have many letters - just like yours - not mean, just very "dear number 12344" like that's all they do - form letters. I don't have any magical suggestion for dealing with these folks except to keep pushing - maybe you'll find someone who will actually help you.
