The Milford woman credits Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-NH, and staff with pulling the strings necessary to get those documents to Fyfe a few weeks ago. They didn t come until after Levesque died Dec. 12 at age 77 in a local nursing home, four days after he had gotten COVID-19. But hers is one of thousands of stories that cry out for reform of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Mo. where 60 million paper records of veterans are stored.
