u have to look him up on the internet u diveyy Do you mean "Pearl Harbor"? You need to find out what his unit was. Do you have any letters or photographs with his address? Sometimes this will identify his unit. Do you know if he was in the Navy or the Army? Try the NARA govt website. There you can search his enlistment records. That will tell you when he joined. That is a start. Need more info.
