I need to obtain my late first cousin’s DD-214 Korean War service record in order to seek a service medal in his honor through the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Both of his parents are deceased.
Harold died in Korea in 1951. I attended his funeral in 1952 when his remains were returned to Louisiana. I was 10 years old at the time of his funeral, but I remember it as it was a closed coffin funeral.
My late mother Rosemary Rovira Koine was my cousin Harold J.Rovira, Jr.’s aunt.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Best Wishes,
Paulette Koine Mauterer
