I received another letter from the National Archives and Records Admin. today that included dad's separation reports for 2 of his enlistments.
One is from the Marines for service from Dec. 16, 1941 to Dec. 24, 1945. His "principal military duty" was "Shore party man-729." This must describe being at Iwo Jima.
The other is from the Army for service from Sept. 11, 1946 to June 29, 1949.
As dad was in the Army through the early 1960s, more records are not available due to fire damage to the records facility on St. Louis in 1973.
