They require their Form NA13075 (available at
Veterans Administration facility), and for
privacy reasons, the serviceman's death
certificate and your birth certificate to prove
next of kin status. For WWII and earlier, it
helps if you can include a photocopy of his
dogtag. Keep copies of all correspondence,
because they lose things. You must be tenacious
and may even have to invoke the Freedom of
Information Act.
