Can you get copies of World War 2 medals awarded to your late relative?

You need to fill out a form furnished bt the National Archives in St.Louis. It usually takes about 6 months. Here is the website: http://www.archives.gov/index.html Here is more input: Contact the American War Library at 16907 Brighton Avenue, Gardena CA 90247 (310) 532-0634. In the British, Canadian and Australian military traditions , only the person who was awarded the medals may WEAR them. A family member may have them, and display them at home.
