This past Saturday we celebrated Armed Forces Day. As a nation, we expressed our profound gratitude to our veterans and active duty personnel alike. Their service was a reminder of the tremendous price paid to secure the blessings of liberty we too often take for granted. We honored our fallen comrades and vowed to uphold the ideals they nobly fought to protect. #ArmedForcesDay #USMilitary #May18th

I am so excited for this! My great-grandfather's WWII discharge records were the only records of his to survive the fire. They were water-damaged but still provided new information. "We know about 80% of Army records from Nov. 1 1912 to Jan. 1 1960; and 75% of all Air Force records from 25 Sep. 1947 to 1 Jan 1964 were destroyed in the fire of 1973 at the St. Louis National Personnel Records Center. So how can you obtain information on your veteran for those years? Answer: Morning Reports With Morning Reports researchers may be able to trace their veteran's service from their starting date to their discharge. Even if your veteran was transferred from one unit to another, which was quite common, that would be noted in the morning reports. Recreating Burnt Military Files? 2 Great Military Resources The NARA, St Louis, microfilms of Morning Reports from 1944-1946 are being digitized and will be available on line at the National Archive website: archives.gov" https://lnkd.in/ecbt-bJk

Blood and war are inextricably linked. The military has learned and relearned this lesson in every war over the past century. Read this article, recommended by the Chief of Staff of the Army, where Lt. Col. Max Ferguson writes about how combat casualty survival on the battlefield depends on a well-resourced and well-trained blood capability. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gsZhu85Z
