Looking for clues to long lost brother

Tiffnut

Greetings all.  I am looking for Steven Meyers Coombs who was stationed in the El Paso area as an Air Force service member on November 23, 1963. On that date he would be around the age of 18-21 I surmise. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.  I'm not sure how to find a service member. Information found will aid me in finding my older adopted brother.

    If your brother has a claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), you might be able to ask them to forward a message to him. The VA can forward a message from you to the veteran, providing the veteran has filed a claim with VA, and they have an address on record. To forward a message, please write your message and place it in an unsealed, stamped envelope. Also include a note to the VA explaining who it is you are trying to reach and add as much identifying information as you have. Place all of this in another envelope addressed to the nearest Veterans Affairs Regional Office (you can find the address at https://www.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp). If the veteran is in their records, your message to the veteran will be sealed and the envelope addressed to the address they have on file for the veteran. Please note that the veteran may not have informed the VA of a change of address, so they cannot guarantee receipt of your message. If the veteran receives your note, it is then up to the veteran to contact you.

    You can also review Locating Veterans and Service Members, Locate Military Members, Units, and Facilities and Finding Living People in the United States for information and/or resources to assist you with locating the person you seek.

    Other community members may have suggestions in addition to the one you have received.

    We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
