    Do you have their DD-214s? Any other documents? If so, and you feel free to post them, they will help us search further.

    I don't. what I have is what I have gathered off of Ancestry.com and from family members. I have serial numbers for all of them, Unit information for the two I listed it for. I know where each of them enlisted/ were inducted. I have bits and pieces of Ruth's duty stations, all stateside.

    Hello,
    One time I found a website that let you look up service members that were wounded. But I can not locate that site anymore.
    Would you know where I could find one that does?
