Getting Information about Relative's War Records

I have had many requests from people emailed to me from my two web sites, Guadalcanal and Leyte Gulf, who have asked me if I had any information their relatives who fought at these battles or in World War II in general. Normally, I do not have that information.

For those of you who want to know more, I have two suggestions:

• There is a wealth of information on the Internet about many Navy, Army, Marine, and Air units in which these relatives served. Based on my personal experience, a search using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo often yields a wealth of information.
• If the person requesting the information wants to know more their relative's actual service record and the requester is a blood relative, the US National Archives can normally send a copy of the veteran's service record to them.

Good luck to those searchers.

Summer sale!

Autographed copies on sale at the reduced price of $17.76!.

In the USA, Memorial Day signifies the beginning of summer. In many part of this country, swimming pools open and summer resorts brace themselves for the onslaught of visitors. We also honor and remember those who gave "their last full measure of devotion" for their country. Many of us visit military and civilian cemeteries to pay special tribute to those our families and friends have lost in war and peace.

Summer time also means that Independence Day, July 4, is just around the corner with Labor Day on the time horizon. The 68th anniversary of the Guadalcanal invasion is August 7, 2010. The 65th anniversary of the end of WW-II is September 2, 2010.

To commemorate these days, I offer autographed copies of the original version of my book, Morning of the Rising Sun: The Heroic Story of the Battles for Guadalcanal, to you for $17.76 each. This sale begins today and ends on Labor Day, September 6, 2010 or when supplies run out. If that happens, there are no original copies left.

Have a great summer, everyone!

How to get a Relative's Service Record

The most frequent request for information asked of me comes from people who want to know if anyone knew a relative of theirs who served in World War II. They also want to know if I have any information about them.

I almost always recommend they begin their search by going to the U.S. National Archives' web site here and request a copy of that veteran's service record. If you are one of the veteran's blood relatives, you have a good chance that you can get a copy of his or her service record.

February 2010 Update

Hello everyone,

The first month of 2010 has ended, and a new one begins. This month has a special day, St. Valentines Day. It is customary for people to give gifts to their loved ones to celebrate this day. I have a suggestion.

With a bitter winter cold still gripping much of the northern hemisphere, why not give a good book about military history to that favorite history buff of yours. My critically acclaimed book, Morning of the Rising Sun: The Heroic Story of the Battles for Guadalcanal, is one that is just right for that special person to read in the warm comfort of their home when the weather is just too cold to go outside.

My book is available for sale from several sources and at various prices. For the latest prices and where you can purchase your copy, the price list can be found on my web site here. Or you may download the PDF files of the price list here and the price list an attached errata sheet here.

Enjoy this month!!
