Received this from Juanita last week:

Hello,
I’m trying to find information on my grandfather that served in WW II on his death record it shows the below information. I hope that you, or someone you know, will be able to help me in my research. I wrote to the office of National Personnel Records, they stated to me that it looks like his unit number was 36 (?). I have no further information on him. He did not die in the war. Please help me, thanks so much for your time in this matter. God Bless.

Wanted to inform you that the POC you gave me is no longer good. Mr. Joe Smudka passed away some time last year. I will continue to do my research.
