Welcome to the Forums, FG.

To be of help, we'd really need some more information ( eg name ? service number ? unit or theatre ? etc ). Otherwise the 'needle and haystack' analogy comes to mind.

Alternatively, maybe some of our US experts can suggest some archives, and many US military organisations have excellent veterans' websites which could help you.
