How could I find out about by father's military career?

My father was an only child and he and my mom are deceased and have been for a while. After finding some blk/white old military pictures of my dad when he was young I am now curious about his career. It was about 1952–53 and I know he was at Ft. Bragg then left and went to France and Germany. I have no idea what he did or how long he stayed in. I have no one to ask. Any ideas?
