How can I find out if I received anymore medals after my discharge from the Army?

Question

To those of you who think this is a dumb question and that you cant receive any more medals once your out thats incorrect. Sometimes the government goes back and issuses medals to people who were at a certian event.(ie. hurricane andrew:when the army was called up for hurricane andrew relief they recived a presidential citation about 6 months later) And i also dont want people to think i am some glory hound only looking to get as many medals as possible. I am putting something together for my kids is all i think it will mean more to them than it does me. Thanks for your help everybody

Answer 1

Great Idea.
There are different places (Bureau of Personal) across the country that will check out and send you the medals for free. Postage free.
They are a work of art.
In the Midwest, it's at St. Louis.
Check with your local VFW or American Legion.
A person deserves EVERY medal that he is entitled too. It's not being a glory hound.
Once you get them all, you can buy duplicates from Medal Catalogs, so you can leave a full set to each child.
Bless you for your service. And me too.
Thank you.

Answer 2

contact either your local va or the dod. that's how i was able to receive all the medals and rank info on my father after he had passed.
