Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new on-line military personnel records system to request documents. The National Personnel Records Center is working to make it easier of veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete a Standard Form 180 that can be downloaded from the on-line web site.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) preserves and protects the files because they are permanently valuable records that document the essential evidence of military service for veterans.

There is no truth to this "urban legend" being perpetuated on the Web.

Paper copies of military service and pension records held may be ordered from the facility which holds the records, either the National Archives in Washington, DC or the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. Please see this website for further information: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html.
