Go to this site and do a free search. I recently found the email of a guy I was in Nam with 38 yrs ago.\n\nhttp://www.zabasearch.com/

I have searched many web sites attempting to find Earl.  What I have come up with that may be of help is the phone number for the Huntington Herald Dispatch, 1-800-955-6110 (main number), or you can reach LeeAnn Welch in the Obituary Dept. Monday from 11am to 7pm (Eastern Time) directly at 1-304-526-2793.  I spoke with a nice girl named Cara, yesterday, 3-25, although she did not have the knowledge to answer your question she did reassure me that LeeAnn (the main person in charge of obituaries) may be able to help you more.\n\nIn regards to the possible date of death, I was able to locate the date of death of an Earl Pennington (actually in Paintsville, Ky) as being April 15,1991.  Paintsville, just as Flat Gap, is also in Johnson County.  The obituary for this Earl (as I'm not absolutely certain it's the same one, but I really would guess that it is) came out in the Lexington Herald-Leader (Ky).  If you want to call this newspaper and hopefully speak to someone in their Obits Dept., the number is 1-800-999-8881.  It will give you the option to speak to a Customer Service Agent by pressing "0".  It sure is worth a try.  Just ask, ask, ask, and you will be sure to get the individual that has the resource/s available.  Take care.  I sure would like to know the outcome.  If you would be so kind so as to add "Additional Details" to your question letting us (those of us who are interested), I for one surely would appreciate it.\n\nP.S.  By going to www.naco.org, I was able to get the number for Paintsville County Courthouse.  The County seat of Johnson County is Paintsville.  Try dialing 606-789-2550 (without the "1" first).  I got through that way.\n\nANOTHER possible lead (remember, you've GOT to ask whoever you talk to if they don't know how to retrieve Earl's obituary, perhaps they know who else would be able to, so as to refer you to)...you can also try the Paintsville-Johnson County Chamber of Commerce at 606-789-5688.  Just like the other 606 number, I got through WITHOUT dialing a "1" first.(I'm in North Texas)\n\nMy guess for the best result/s will come from the courthouse and/or one, or both newspapers.  Tomorrow I plan on putting a call in to the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper,...as I'm very curious if Flat Gap and Paintsville are in close proximity to each other.  It just might be a clue leading to Earl.\n\nvitals.rootsweb.com and also University of Kentucky.com both show date of death as April 13,1991, unlike the first date of death I had come across being April 15,1991.  Did you know he was 56 years old when he died?  If I come across anything else, I'll let you know.

Do you have ANY idea where he was stationed?\nState? Name of Base or installation?\n\nOnce you figure that out there is a "Locator Service" on the bases to help people find individual Marines.  Being a casualty, may make it a little more difficult as they are not going to just release info about a fallen Marine to just anyone. \n\nIf there is a Marine Recruiting Office near you you may start there.  Although not their job, recruiters can often find out, or at least point you in the general direction to getting your questions answered.       \n\nIt can't be too difficult to figure out where he was stationed, there aren't many Marine Corps installations to choose from.  I think there may be a website to help locate Marines as well.

Best bet is if you know what units they were assigned to, do a search on those units.  \n\nI come from a military family, found a wealth of information on the Navy, Army Air Corps, and Army from WWII, Army - Korea, Brown Water Navy - Nam, by searching those.  Included were refrernces to my relatives by name.  Even found my own name from Grenada and Desert Storm.  \n\nExample:  8th AF (Uncle Served WWII, B-17 pilot decorated postumously), USS Cobia, WWII:  Uncle Served on four combat cruises, USS Kitty Hawk (Same Uncle Commanded this vessel), 554 River Division: Uncle Served two combat tours), Swift Boats:  Cousin Served (OIC, WIA, Feb 28 1969), and more.\n\nI even found the inscription from my grandfathers headstone   in the military cemetary where he is burried.  \n\nHope this helps and happy hunting

And!\n\nAsk the Army for a copy, it should be in your records, or in his.\nWestmoreland is dead I am pretty sure so he isn't a source.

Very thoughtful.  You did not mention if he were still alive or what branch of service he had served.  He might have registered his DD214 with the Hall of Records I would check there first if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.

If they were not a part of the 45th ID organically they would have worn a Corps or Army patch (whoever they belonged to and were attached out from, I think it is one of these: "15th Army Group" "Fifth US Army" or "IV Corps) \n\nI would try to look up the "order of battle"(the list of units) for these units and see if the 191 Tank is in there than they wore the patch of that Corps/Army/Army Group.

there are public places such as miltary.com where you can search their 'buddy finder' but there is no offical database that the public has access to.  \n\nUnless you are listed on a servicemember's page 2, you are NOT authorized to receive any information about them from the military.

Do you have his rank or anything like that. If so you can ask for him/her by rank and name,  If not it will be difficult to find him/her. \nDo you know his branch of military too that would narrow it down.\nsorry this is all  i can tell you

I have located a Grandville Wilson, but he lives in MI.  I am enclosing the link so you can check if it is whom you seek.

Try sending an inquiry to the Marines.  They should be able to give you his adress.

If that friend has an AKO (Army Knowledge online), try "firstname.lastname@us.army. mil".  You could contact his parents or another relative too (I would hope they know).  \n\nThere used to be such a thing as a "post locator", but you must be a service member or a spouse to use it.
