Does anyone have access to Fold3? Need a look-up of possible WWII vet for memorial dedication. [View all]
Hi all.
I haven't posted in ages. Haven't done much genealogy work since my parents passed away. Not fun without them here to share
all the fun things I would find.
Anyway, I am in need of help. I live in an over-55 community, and they are building a memorial for veterans. Both of my parents were vets, so I already have their info. But my Dad's best friend, who has also passed away, may have been a veteran. I can't remember. On Ancestry.com, all I can find is his draft card. Nothing else.
If anyone has access to Fold3, could you please check and see if this person ever served in the military? I only have until September 30th to get his name in, IF he was a veteran.
Here is the info I have on him
Ulrich Lawrence Monroe (his friends knew him as Larry)
b 22 Oct 1912, in Brookfield, Missouri, USA
d 11 Oct 2006, Escondido, San Diego, CA, USA
I am kind of doubting that he served, as he was in the fire department from a pretty young age, and retired as Battalion Chief.
But I want to make sure. I don't want him to not be honored with the vets, if he was one.
Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can try to do a look-up for me.
