I think I can see why they are allowing free searches. Their database is missing a lot of information.
I found no reference to my service record during Desert Storm.
I found no reference to either of my Grandfather's records from WWII.

Found my dad's older brother Donald, a career Army man who was buried at Arlington; but not my dad, or our family friend the B-24 gunner.
