, making me a US citizen!Īmy, my dad was buried in North Carolina with full military honors. On March 25, 1955, he married my mother in Innsbruck, Austria, and also declared I was his daughter, he was the father, etc. Sorry, too excited to go get those papers now.! I found a picture of him with his troop, (some kind of formation outside his barracks, I guess) at Camp Rum. My father was a Corporal in the Military Police, stationed at Camp Rum, Austria… thus, I was born there! He lived in Thaur Nr., 83a while he was stationed in Rum, which I believe is the name of the city. His serial number was: 53-065-390.The first digit is a ‘5’, which doesn’t tell me anything, cause there is no number ‘5’, according to your serial number statements. He was born in North Carolina, and lived there, but his serial number indicates he registered in Virginia. Can I please give you what I have, hoping you can help me? You are a godsend! For years I have been trying to find out any ARMY info pertaining to my dad.
