Your DD214 goes several places when you are discharged. Try the VA and your old unit. Both should have received an original copy.

Try logging into EBenefits, and seeing if it recognizes you. You may be able to get a "Statement of service." From there, you can use that to hit the National Archives again, or try the Service & Base that discharged you. They used to hold records for 3~ years. You may be able to get the microfiche variant, and they can reconstruct from there?

That happened with my wife's late husband. She went through the Pentagon and got a letter in lieu of the DD-214.
