Title: Can I look up the reason some one was awared a medel in the service for online?
Post by: Trell on September 01, 2004, 12:09:27 PM

In all this talk about what some one does and does not do to get an award.

I have been thinking about My grand father.  
He fought fought in the korean war and was awarded a bronze star and a purple hear, as well as some others that I don't know about.  

Is there a way to pull up his information online?

Your grandfather should have citations stating the events which lead to his receiving the medals.

The problem with this is the main reason i am looking for how to look it up online.
He passed away about a year and a half ago, and my family is not really on speaking terms with his last wife.  So I have no way to looking for the paper work or even his medels.

If he was still around I would ask him about it.
