>>Hello. I am trying to find some medical record information about my grandfather. His name is Lloyd Carlton Lee. He served in the Coast Guard from Aprirl 1942 - September 1945. He was injured while loading ammunition on the ship. His leg was ruptured below his hip. Any information that you could give me help with is more than appreciated. He is currently living in the VA Hospital and they are requesting that we find this information. His medical records were burned in some kind of fire and we don't have the information on hand. I look forward to a response from you.
