My father was in the marines in the early 1950s. I am trying to find any info about his service. I have his SSN but not his service number.
I have tried the National Archives. The operate at a glacial pace and are now even slower as they are considered non-essential.
There was a 2nd guy in the marines, in Korea about the same time with the same first name, last name and middle initial. I believe the archives sent me the other guys info as the medals don't match what I have in pictures.
I've tried Ancenstry and some other sites but without the SN I can't tell if I am looking at the right records.
I've tried some Facebook user groups but they all refer me to the National Archives.
Any ideas on how I might find a service number?
Thanks!!
