RustyCanteen Posted September 1, 2019 Share #18 Posted September 1, 2019 Are the VN USMC casualty cards still on line ? I could be wrong, but I thought they took all the cards offline. Didn't they change it so you had to request a copy? Someone else will know the newest status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
