Hi Brooke,
Besides the IDPF293 file - but that is for deceased persons - you might get additional information concerning your grandfather's service.
It is possible they will refer you to another service though.
It doesn't hurt to write them though.
As you are a relative, you might have more luck than me.

Here, you can find the DD214 file, citations, General Orders and - if available - even a photo the soldier.
Greetings from Belgium,
