Adriano -
The fire you mention was at the Federal Records Center in St. Louis/Missouri. The records destroyed in the 1972 fire were all personnel records, I believe (including some or most of mine). This has proved to be a real problem for veterans trying to obtain corroborating evidence to support claims of service-incurred injuries needed by the Veterans Administration.
