Hi Caz -- I can help you out.  I will send you a PM with information, but for the sake of the forum I will detail that there are scattered online sources for U.S. research.  WWII enlistment records are very valuable.  Military Times Hall of Valor is also very detailed.  both are missing probably millions of entries, though.  Your best bet is to write to the National Personnel Records Center under Freedom of Information for records of service men discharged under 62 years ago or hire a researcher to pull the archival records.  Even writing under FOIA is spotty.  I can assist you with this if I know more details.
