Download this form Military Record Requests: Standard Form SF-180.
Mail it to:
National Personnel Records Center
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132
And ask for copies of his OMPF (Official military Personnel File, also called a "201 file". That will summerize every major thing about his military career for you (awards, training, assignments, combat, evaluation reports, disipline etc). Even though a 201 file should include his DD214 (discharge summery), specifically ask for that as well, because alot of the older records don't include the DD214. Medical Records request will slow you up months if not years, I'd skip it or request it seperately.
Be warned, the military records building had a huge fire a few years ago, lost alot of records from WWII era.
Hope that helps.
