I know from previous guys doing it that they are in Bethesda, Md. I think they went there and looked them up themselves. It took a while and it cost some for copies. Another thing used is eyewitness accounts from buddies. If you are in contact with any that may help. The VA likes dates. I found all of mine from a book written about the 1st Cav that included the time I was in it. CIB, CMB, or Purple Heart cause the VA to automatically assume PTSD stressors. If you have to write a stressor letter, keep it brief: name dates, names and locations. Half a page is good.
