Individual Military Research Cases

Even if you have been told your veteran’s file burned in the 1973 fire, I will bring their war experience vividly to life through a meticulously crafted, full-color legacy PDF report that will become a cherished family bedrock. These reports are more than just collections of documents - they're carefully curated narratives that help you understand your veteran's complete journey through service.

Drawing from my extensive archive and international research connections, I investigate every available source to reconstruct your veteran's military experience in any war, on any continent.

Whether they served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Army Air Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Army Nurse Corps (ANC), Women's Army Corps (WAC), or medical units, I delve deep into their specific story. My research spans from the Civil War through World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and beyond.

Your customized legacy report weaves together official documentation with historical context and personal narratives. After our initial consultation, I will locate and analyze crucial documents including:

- Discharge documentation (DD-214 and related materials)

- Individual Deceased Personnel Files (IDPF)

- Prisoner of War (POW) records

- Morning Reports that track daily unit activities

- Chaplain files that reveal personal moments

- General Orders showing unit movements and operations

- Award verifications for Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Silver Star, and other decorations

- Hospital admission records

- Unit journals revealing day-to-day experiences

- After Action Reports detailing combat operations

- Complete service chronology

My reports are unique because I strive to bring your veteran's experience to life within the larger context of their service. Families often tell me they feel as though their veteran has stepped out of history and into the present moment. During my final presentation, it's not uncommon for clients to be moved to tears as they finally understand the full scope of their loved one's service.

Each report has its own distinctive aesthetic, designed to honor your veteran's specific journey while making complex military information accessible and meaningful for future generations. This becomes more than just a collection of facts - it becomes a bridge of understanding between past and present.
