Military Records Center Fire

The True Facts About
 ‘BURNED SERVICE RECORDS’

The Veterans Administration has used the “Burned in the Kansas City fire” excuse for failure to obtain your records. Other government resources has been known to do the same, but here is the truth.

No USMC or USN records were destroyed.
All records are basically pre Viet Nam era.

If you have been told this by any Veterans or Government Agency when attempting to obtain your Service and/or Medical Records, please present these facts to the person concerned:

The personnel, branches of service and dates involved with percentage of destruction are as follows:
Army Personnel discharged November 1, 1912 to January 1, 1960, destroyed 80%
Air Force Personnel discharged September 25, 1947 to January 1, 1964*, destroyed 75%
*Air Force with names alphabetically after Hubbard, James E

Drivers Needed

Members coming to the 2019 Alaska Reunion,
We will have three 15 passenger vans available during our three day reunion. Other than our planned activities they should be available for use by anyone approved to drive them. All I need is a copy of your drivers license and current vehicle insurance and I can get you on the list of approved drivers when we go to pick them up. Either bring with you or you can send to me now and I will keep them in a file. Send to Mark Kruzick, PO Box 39427, Ninilchik, Alaska 99639. I visualize them being used by groups in the evening to go to dinner or just sight seeing on your own around Anchorage. Can’t let anyone drive them unless I’ve given copies to the rental company.
See you in Sept.
Semper Fi,  Mark
