Peanuts, that is pretty much the reply most folks are getting. Some of it IS true, but many people have simply received a form letter and...
However, I myself, and several others I have directed, were able to pick up a copy of their loved one's discharge papers from their state's Veteran's Admin. If a loved one received any kind of treatment after discharge from the VA, then they have permanent records which they will copy for you.
When I wrote to the Michigan VA, they sent me a copy within two weeks. Please check out this link for info:

So contact your dad's home state VA and see what transpires. The best to you.
