My pleasure! It all comes around. I was the one frantic for data, and now I can step up to the plate and offer my help. Four and half years ago I was the one spinning in circles and pulling my hair out! Ouch! 
NARA in Maryland won't have individual records, but daily, weekly and monthly unit journals, amongst other records. However within those records, they will mention individual names in context. I found my dad's name a couple of times already. Once when he was going on leave with some of his buddies, and then returning. Then once when he was injured on duty and sent to an evac hospital during the breakout from Anzio! Wow, that was an eye-opener!
