Regarding WWII medals, I was talking with the daughter of a WWII veteran and she said the army was not very good about tracking men down to award the medals and many vets do not even have those that are owed them. She was able (with his paperwork) to get her dad's medals awarded to him. Another friend was able to do it with much less (her dad's paperwork was destroyed in a fire and he had since died). With information about the company he served in, etc she was able to get his medals posthumously.
