REPLACEMENT AWARDS & MEDALS
Receiving any medal from the United States military is a great honor. Sadly, medals can be lost or begin to show their age over time.
If you need a replacement, you can apply for one with ease. Go to the National Archive's site for Veterans Service Records. At this site, veterans and their next of kin can apply for replacement medals. Army and Air Force veterans can request medals online. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard veterans will need to mail the request. |
