Tom is correct. I have used Broadfoot to obtain Compiled Military Service Records. They are
prompt and thorough. They provide high quality copies. I do not know what their prices are
now but I paid, I believe, $29.95 for the CMSR for one soldier.

At the time, it was more expensive than NARA, but it was much, much faster.
