Question about how to “apply” for medals (idk proper term)
Posted on
I have a question but idk if this is the right forum/community to ask... My grandfather was in the military he purposely left home to fight in the war and was injured in the field (he is currently buried in golden gate cemetery I believe) anyway my great-grandma didn’t give him her blessing to leave the farm to go fight and neither did my great-grandpa so when he got home my great-grandma burned a lot of his military paperwork and either trashed or sold his medals including his Purple Heart and I believe his silver cross and shredded his uniform out of spite for him leaving the farm to fight my question is: is there a way to get his medals back ? Or are they lost forever I know it seems materialistic but I barely got to be with my grandpa and the moat I have to remember him by are a folded up flag and his military picture and I’m thinking maybe seeing the medals he earned would bring me a little closer to knowing him and what he was like (he died when I was 2 or 3 I can’t quite remember) please share your thoughts and if you think I’m on the wrong community I’ll delete the post immediately.
