I live in Kanawha County. The local VA was very helpful and with a phone call, they emailed some documents directly to me.

Interesting, I might look into that, although I'm not sure it (a DD-214) would give me any more information than I already have. My dad's family is from the Clendenin area.

DD214s of that vintage will have the vet's signature and thumbprint as well as deployment dates and locations, awards, and medals issued. Also has pay info, education, and misc. pre-military info. Kind of neat if you're in to that sort of history.
