Welcome George:
Thanks for joining. I hope we will be able you obtain more information on your father. It can be a very frustrating pursuit; just ask me!
There are several avenues you can try, so please see our Research section for contacts. They include the National Archives in Maryland (reports on the unit themselves), WWII Connections (a private research company), to name a few.
You may also want to contact the local library and newspapers of your dad's hometown. The papers carried small articles about their hometown boys, and many people are pleasantly surprised when they contact these agencies.
Good luck and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
