Research A Vietnam War Veteran

Our military research specialists are on-site at archival repositories nationwide and can locate the Vietnam War military service records of your veteran. We provide photocopies (and digital scans when possible) of the original military unit and service records of your Vietnam War veteran. Our expert military records specialists will customize a research plan to your specific needs and locate the military records that you are seeking. While Vietnam War U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps personnel records from the Vietnam War are complete, some Vietnam era Army and Air Force personnel records were lost in the 1973 National Archives fire. We can help you to understand the experiences of your Vietnam War veteran even if their military service records were lost in the fire.
