    Cinders-- I did the same thing for late father-in-law who served in the Pacific. He was de-mobilized so quickly he did not want to wait around for his medals. He just wanted to get home start his family. We got to talking about his military experiences and said he never received the metals he was entitled to. I got a hold of a copy of his DD214 and made arrangements for his metals. He did get them before he passed on. I even had them placed in a shadow box for him to display in his home. He would show them off to his follow veteran friends. Every time I visited him he would talk about his medals.
