Military Records – How Can I Get My Grandfather’s ?
tangerine asked:

I know that my grandfather served in both Europe and the Pacific during the Second World War, but since he died several years before I was born, I’ve never been able to ask him questions about it. I would like to know the specifics, though, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to obtain his military records.

Military Records & Personal Records Where Are Your Important Records?
Living life creates a paper trail. From birth certificates to car insurance to marriage records and name change documents, a person’s life can be summarized by the important documents they’ve amassed. Keeping these documents both secure and easily accessible is very important, but is often seen as a daunting task.

When faced with mounds of paperwork that must be sorted in order to identify which documents are deemed “important,” people tend to freeze, push the papers back into the drawer, closet or box they came out of, and leave the project for another day. By the time that day finally comes, the papers seem to have multiplied. In the ensuing whirlwind of sorting through, it’s easy for some to mistakenly end up in the trash, which could lead to serious problems.

The documents might be needed for identification, medical history, financial issues and property or estate management. While they aren’t needed too frequently, most find that when they are necessary, locating them quickly is usually important. Breaking the project down into a few easy steps will make it seem much more manageable.

First, decide what documents you want to store. Consider the following:

- Personal: birth certificates, marriage records, divorce records, social security cards, education records, military records, medical records

- Family: social security cards, education records, medical records, genealogy records, death certificates

- Financial: Tax returns, bank statements, stock certificates, savings bonds

- Home: Closing docs, loan docs, home warranties, home insurance, homestead docs, car titles

- Estate: Life insurance, real estate deeds, collectibles, wills

Why is this necessary?

After looking at the extensive list of documents that should be securely saved, many need to be reminded exactly why this is an important organizational project.

If the house is on fire, knowing exactly where to grab important documents, if there’s time to rescue any household items, can make the aftermath much easier. Alternately, if the documents have been stored in a fireproof safe, they’ll be one less thing to have to worry about rescuing. On a day to day basis, an organized system can help save time; bank and property statements will be easy to locate at tax time and birth certificates easy to lay hands on during sports registration periods, for example. In the event of a death, family members won’t have to wonder where the deceased could have hidden a will, but will find it easily.

From a more sinister viewpoint, it’s important to know where your documents are to be sure that no one else has managed to steal them. Identity theft, a ballooning problem in today’s society, often occurs when thieves are armed with just the sort of personal information listed above. A secure, organized system will make the chances of a birth certificate being discarded much less likely, and will make it easier to realize if anything has gone missing.

Where to find official copies of important personal documents?

If key vital documents, like birth, death, marriage or divorce certificates, are missing from the now organized files, it’s easy to locate them quickly by purchasing them through a reliable online service vital record agencies. Good luck with storing your important personal records. Remember, when broken down into a few simple steps, this task becomes much more manageable.
