Go to: http://aad.archives.gov/aad/ Choose World War II from main page. Under World War II Army Enlistment Records... choose the first icon that says Search. You'll then see two databases to search. Search both, one at a time. From the search page, enter just the last name in the name field and the birth year in that field. If it's a common name, also pick the state. Unfortunately, if he was in the Navy or Marine Corps or any other branch, you can't search for him here. Drop me an email and let me know how it goes. I have other ideas, too.
