DDP

I am trying to get records from 40+ years ago in support of my claim. Recently, I was advised to include "Boot Camp" events. There were several major events and at least one ended in the suicide of a recruit. It bothers me that I do not remember the names of these two recruits. I have contacted AFME (Armed Forces Medical Examiner), however, they did not come into existence until 1986, after the fact. I have also contacted Hq Marine Corps, no luck. I then contacted MCMA (Marine Corps Mortuary Affairs). MCMA is looking, however, because I do not have a name and it has been so long, they are supposedly going through a list of over 300 names. I have been looking through old newspaper articles, google searches, recently joined Together We Served, etc., etc., nothing so far. Why did I list all of this? I know how busy folks are and DO NOT want to take time away from anyone. Therefore, I wanted to list some of the avenues I have taken. I am not asking anybody to do the leg work. I have always been my own advocate. I really appreciate any advise. Perhaps there is something I have missed. Thank you, Drehne
