He served during WWII, but my mother doesn't seem to know any other info. He was born in Raleigh, NC, and as far as I know was honorably discharged after serving his time. My mother is now 92, and I'm beginning the process of having to look for an assisted living facility for her. I was told about the Veterans' benefit at a lawyer's office this past week, and need to know as soon as possible where I need to go from here.
