Military Records

My father in law was drafted and served in Korea for a year in 62 or 63 I believe. I was thinking of making him a little shadow box with a picture of him and a friend over there my wife has, the crossed pistols of the mp’s, his old divisional patch, maybe his marksmanship badge with the pistol and rifle tags. What I’m having trouble with researching is what medals/ribbons/awards would he have gotten ie: did the army service ribbon exist then? Would a national defense ribbon have been authorized? would he have gotten a korean award or an army overseas for that time period? I couldn’t locate his dd214 and it would kind of ruin the gift to ask him. Any insight into this or insight into the complexity of records request would be appreciated thanks!

Hi, I am working on a Fathers day gift for my father in law. His father passed more than 20 years ago, and is someone who I consider a hero. He was in the third infantry division during WW2 and served and fought all throughout europe against the Nazi regime. Anyhow when he was alive he rarely spoke about the war because he witnessed many things, that he’d rather not talk about. This fathers day I am compiling a book, and have already requested a copy of his military records, I was wondering if there is anything else anyone can think of to make it extra special. I have seen on t.v. where veterans familys revieve a U.S flag that is folded upon there death is this only if they died while serving? Does anyone know of any registery’s or certificates?

I was discharged from the military based on false claims of abuse by my now ex wife. Ive since then been able to prove that it was a lie, however my reenlistment code is a 3 due to my discharge. I was told by the local recruiter that I could get a wavier to go back in, but he highly doubts that I will get it because of what it says on my DD214. I wish to rejoin as soon as possible. How can I get my records corrected faster than the usual 10 months? Or what is a number I can use call and speak to someone there?

One of the primary reasons why funeral records are ignored is that, unlike death records, they are not considered public records. Funeral homes are not required by law to release funeral documents unless there is just cause. But as of late, more funeral homes are allowing the general public to request for this information, provided that the name of the deceased and the date of death are provided accurately by the requesting party.

I was just wondering this
Like if you go to the hospital and get a rape kit done on you and police were involved and so on and so on, does it go on record?
Are there any links you can provide for me with information on whether they go on record or not?

To make a long story short, there is a possibility that I might get an Admin Separation from the Marine Corps due to my mental state and the medication that I’m currently on. I have to meet with a Psychiatrist who will ultimately determine whether or not I’m fit for full duty. If they decide that I’m not, how much info about my situation can they tell my command other than: “This Marine is not fit for full duty?” Also, how much information am I required to tell my command about the meeting?
