Can't find your medals? from Medals of America
or Military Awards and Decorationswww.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html I believe they will only send what is listed on your dd214. It takes some time, but there is no charge. Requests for the issuance or replacement of military service medals, decorations, and awards should be directed to the specific branch of the military in which the veteran served. However, for Air Force (including Army Air Corps) and Army personnel, the National Personnel Records Center will verify the awards to which a veteran is entitled and forward the request with the verification to the appropriate service department for issuance of the medals. The eVetRecs is preferred for requesting medals and awards. Provide as much information as possible in the comments field. Should you prefer to submit your request using a SF180 then provide as much information as possible and send the form to the appropriate address from the following tables:

BOOKS
The Bird Dogs’ Tale
by Bobby Jack Woolley (Swamp Fox 26 - editor)
The author has presented the combat service of the Bird Dog aircraft in a comprehensive manner that covers the ten-year period, 1962-1972. The intent is for The Bird Dogs’ Tale to serve as a record of how O-1’s service contributed to the overall combat effort that occurred in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era.
Research concerning the disposition of each O-1 that served with Army, Air Force and Marine aviation units is presented. Brief histories of each O-1 aviation unit are also included. Of significance, an accounting of each service member who lost his life participating in its combat service is also recorded. The accounting of each aircraft and those who lost their lives to O-1 operations is an important and unusual content of a combat related book. The Bird Dogs’ Tale is that story.
About the Author
Bobby Jack Woolley graduated from Texas A & M in 1964 as a Distinguished Military Graduate and served 23 years as a career Regular Army officer before retiring from active duty in 1987. He flew in an O-1 as an artillery observer during his first Vietnam tour with the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division during 1965 and 1966.
After completion of his ground-duty tour, he returned to the States and completed the Army’s fixed-wing pilot qualification course in 1967. He returned to Vietnam during 1967 with the 203rd Hawkeyes with duty in northern II Corps. At mid-tour, he transferred to the 199th Swamp Foxes in IV Corps and served as pilot, platoon leader, and as a unit standardization pilot.
In 1968, he returned to Fort Rucker and served for two years as an instructor pilot transitioning student pilots to be qualified in the O-1 Bird Dog, as well as serving as an OV-1 instructor pilot. Upon retirement from military service, he began his book project with the intent of providing a comprehensive record of the Cessna O-1s combat service in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era.
