Leanie Posted 10 June , 2019 Share Posted 10 June , 2019 Just got a letter back about my great grandfather (American) it says: The archival Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) is a record in the legal custody of the National Archives and Records Administration: access to this record will be granted by providing a copy of the file for $70. I have found him on fold3 being on a ship sent to overseas and back. I have his army serial number and his enlistment date so I'm not sure why they said it was in the area of the fire in 73... We were hoping to get his medals also. They want $70 which is ALOT and not knowing what will be in this. I'm just wondering if it'll only have what we have already have found in it. I don't know what to do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
