My condolences for your loss..

1)do you have any award orders or citations for combat action? Most reference dates and local of actions.

2)have you filed a request for Cpt Brown's records? By filling out a from VA SF-180, FOIA, you should get his DD-214, DA-25, and possibly his orders for overseas assignments.

3)There are several web sites that have AO info.
