Its official, DD-214's are
NOW Online.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following
website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/
This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his
DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for
veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of
documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of
kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online
military personnel records system to request documents. Other
individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard
Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the
requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to
process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask
veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based
application was designed to provide better service on these requests by
eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time.
Please
pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and
their dependents.

The following letter was sent from John Corley,
Association Member #40:
Dear Hugh, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you and members of the FORRESTAL Association who were so
supporting to Merrilee and me during the final stages of her illness and after
her passing.
We attended the Orlando reunion and all others
through 2007 in Kentucky. Merrilee eagerly looked forward to the FORRESTAL
reunions and renewing friendships with the regular and casual attendees.
I look forward to attending the 2008 reunion in
Charleston, but it will not be the same without Merrilee.
Very Truly Yours, John K. Corley

Being at sea or overseas, even during peacetime, and during
the holidays is always lonely. Please take a moment to remember and
support those troops currently defending our country in harm's way and away from
friends and family. One way
you can do so is by sending a message to a sailor or service member via the link
below:
