    I haven’t had any luck finding any Vietnam stuff online ... I believe NARA will send the DD214 (discharge paper) if requested but not sure what the criteria are and I think they’re only doing emergency requests right now. There are some records and info online at NARA and fold3 but I’ve never had any luck finding the individuals or units I was searching for :/

    I notice there is a both a video tutorial and PDF guides on how to search their archive, including maps: https://www.vietnam.ttu.edu/resources/tutorials/

     

    Also, I recently learned about this interesting project. Since you haven't stated exactly WHAT you're looking for, perhaps this War Letters project would be of interest: https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/do/search/?q=vietnam&start=0&context=8455349&facet=

    https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/united-states-military-records/ gives some good guidelines and research hints.

     

    But if you have his Form DD214 or service number, you'll have a long wait, but the best luck at getting specific info by following the instructions at https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/military-personnel
