What are the types of records that can be obtained through FOIA request?
Any record may be obtained through the FOIA, provided that the record is not exempt from release by one of nine FOIA exemptions. In the case of Privacy Act records, you must provide the written permission of the individual whose records you seek. In no instance will the names and/or addresses of next of kin or other family members (including decedents) of the war dead buried or memorialized at ABMC commemorative sites be released under the FOIA, as this information is protected by the Privacy Act.
