His name was Bernard S. Leff from the Bronx, N.Y. He enlisted and entered the Service Jan. 1, 1942. He was stationed at Fort Dix,N.J. then in Texacana, Texas and then was shipped to Europe where he served until near the end of the War. He also was with the Stars and Stripes Newspaper. I am looking for his military record and/or any other info.

The easiest way is to go to the nearest Recruiting Station.
They will have a form that you can fill out to request MSR's and the correct address to send it to.
Military Personnel Records:
Most veteran's records are stored at the National Archives and Records Administration's National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR). This includes records of veterans who are completely discharged (with no remaining reserve commitment), or who are retired or have died. Starting in 1995, the service departments gradually began retaining their personnel records in electronic format and all but the Coast Guard now have stopped transferring them to NPRC-MPR. NPRC-MPR does not have records of members who are still in the active or inactive reserves or in the National Guard. The locations of most personnel records are listed by service branch.
Older military personnel records (generally prior to WWI, depending on the service branch) are on file at the National Archives and Records Administration, Old Military and Civil Records Branch (NWCTB), Washington, DC 20408.
Approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files pertaining to certain Army and Air Force service members were destroyed in a disastrous fire at NPRC (MPR) in 1973. Alternate record sources are used to reconstruct basic service information destroyed in the fire.

go online to national military records and find a form 180 fill this form out and you either fax it to the records section in st. louis or mail it to them. if you need this info right away i can tell you it ain't going to happen. pay attention to the section that id's you as a realitive. there was a fire in the building in 1973 so it is possible that his records were destroyed. if not it takes about 6 weeks to get his records. you can also on the same form 180 request a set of new medals that he was intitled to. alo medical records as well. i wish you luck on your endeavers.
