Mr. Tafta,
Hopefully, someone has responded to your plea, if not, might I suggest you contact the following organizations in your city;
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, Purple Heart Association, The Non-Commissioned Officer’s Association.
These and other veterans group’s will have publication’s in which you may place an AD seeking those who knew or served with your Dad.
Best Regards to you.
