View Full Version : Medal Shopping
My son has a interest in Grandpa's Eagle and Globe, and asked were his medals were. I was thinking about making him a display box, but I suspect they went up in flames when his house burned.
I have a DD214 with a listing, and was hoping someone might have some recommendations as to where I might purchase replacements.
Thanks.

Yup. Medals of America is a good one stop shop. They have vets on staff.
I would +1 on the NARA site. It will take a little time but they will re-issue all awards and medals.
Generally, there is no charge for medal or award replacements. The length of time to receive a response or your medals and awards varies depending upon the branch of service sending the medals.

I've heard from two weeks to a few months.
