 Thank you for posting your question on History Hub! 
 
 For information related directly to PFC Ignacio Amador Maldonado w e suggest that you request a copy of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) . OMPFs and individual medical reports for individuals who served with the U.S. Army who were separated from the service after October 1912 and before 1960 are in the custody of NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis. In many cases where personnel records were destroyed in the 1973 fire , proof of service can be provided from other records such as morning reports, payrolls, and military orders, and a certificate of military service will be issued. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 and mail it to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. Veterans and next of kin of deceased veterans also may use eVetRecs to request records. See eVetRecs Help for instructions. If there is any information requested by the form that you do not know, you may omit it or provide estimates (such as for dates), but the more information you provide, the easier it will be to locate the correct file if it survived the fire. For more information see Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF), Archival Records Requests . 
 
 Archival OMPFs may also be requested by visiting the Archival Research Room at the National Archives at St. Louis . Please see the linked web pages for more information. Please email stlarr.archives@nara.gov for further assistance prior to making an appointment.
