Remember also that this fire was ONLY for the Army and Air Force records,
not the Navy and Marine ones as they are kept at a different location.
Also, if a person was entered and being treated in the VA hospitals then
many of these records had been removed prior to the fire and were later
found at the VA -- so just have them check again (as stated in original
message).
