He left for Korea when he found out my bmom was pregnant with me. He is now a Korean Vet. I am wondering where I can locate and find what unit he was in.

You can try [url]Http://vetrecs.archives.gov[/url]
This is for next of kin of a deceased vet, (or living) you say that you are his daughter/son and he is on death bed, would like to do official military shadow box with his medals; as soon as possible. You must tell them that all records and medals burned up in fire. They don''t ask for proof. If you have his SS#, that is all you need. You will get everything about him, including health records, where he was stationed and when, rank, units with, everything. In fact you can do the exact same thing at the other URL that was given to you in MO. Good luck,
army brat and wife.
Just wanted to say thanks to Annika for the book recommendation - I have just ordered it.
Did you find your biological father? Your circumstances are very similar to mine, except my bio father was in the US Navy, but my mother can only provide me with his first name (she remembers that his surname was Scandinavian, but cannot remember exactly what it was). I know where he was stationed and when, but that is all.
I have been told that I have pretty much no chance of finding him on such scant information, so was interested in whether you have had any luck or found a way around it! Thanks.
