[or-roots] How to find Military History?

[Gary and Lola Brumbaugh]

Hi Ronda---You need to know where they were and the approximate dates that
they were there. Armed with that info go to http://military.usmedals.com
<http://military.usmedals.com/>  and select the branch of the service. When
you click on a medal the requirements for that medal will come up and you
can decide if that medal applies. Of course the best info would be in their
military records. Obtaining them can be very difficult if you are not the
next of kin.---Gary

Hi OR roots listers,

My Mom and Dad want to find out which medals my Uncles Floyd and Loyd
Phillips received in WWII.  My Mom had twin uncles who were in the 1st
Cavalry based out of Ft. Hood.  They died in February 1945 and March 1945.
We've seen the purple hearts, but want to know what other medals they
received.  Do any of you know how to do this?

Thanks,

Ronda
