Not only do we help families discover their veteran's history, but we also assist militaria collectors with researching items in their collections. Here is an example of a recent one that came to us.
This item was presented to me as being simply a named 8th Army Air Force Bombardier's uniform jacket. After countless hours of research, the man was identified as Edward J. Strzyzewski of the 748th Bombardment Squadron in the 457th Bomb Group. He flew on roughly 30 missions. We were able to uncover all of the Operational Loading lists and mission narratives for this man. We also located his obituary, photo's of his plane that he flew on during the war, and several other military documents pertaining to him.

Welcome All!
We at WWII Research Investigations strive to provide veteran's families with the lost details of their loved ones service. So many of our heroic soldiers never tell what they experienced to others and when they pass away, their stories are lost to history. This organization feels the need to uncover this information so that your veteran can truly be honored in the way that he or she deserves and their war story past down for generations to come. Through such resources as The National Archives, The National Personnel Records Center, WWII unit histories, and our own personal library of reference material we will take the information that you provide us and expand on it. In addition to helping veterans families, our research services are also used by United States militaria collectors wishing to identify a soldier that an item in their collection belonged to. Whether this is putting a face to a uniform grouping, uncovering an engraved medal's citation, or decoding laundry marks.
