How can I learn more about what my relatives did in the U.S. military during WWII? Growing up I was very close with two of my great-grandfathers, both of whom served in WWII. Both passed when I was a teenager. I know a little about what one of them did in the war, and almost nothing about the other one (he didn't talk about it.) I'd like to learn more about what my great-grandfathers did during the war, but I'm not sure where to start.

You could try going to the National Personnel Records Center and Military Personnel Records in St. Louis, Missouri. The National Archives also has and Access to Archival Databases resource that you can search through.
