hey all! I’m wondering if there is some sort of database with names of all those who served and where. my great grandfather served in WWII out of Bedford, VA. I have the name of the regiment and company, but I tried to look online to see if there were any record of him as well as other family. does anyone know of any database or website I could look into
Not to dissuade expert answers, but have you looked at the Ask Historians Wiki->Military Records->United States? There may be some helpful information there
