Obtaining
Replacement Medals
(Replacement medals
may be requested by ANY veteran OR their next of kin)
Veterans are entitled to ONE REPLACEMENT set of their medals
earned. To obtain replacement medals, submit a duly filled out
Standard Form (SF 180). It is recommended that you include a copy
of your DD 214, however if that is not available you should include
pertinent information in your request (e.g. full name, service
number, social security number, date of birth, and as much
additional information as possible.)
DO NOT mail the SF 180 to the address listed on the form.
Requests for replacement medals should be directed to the specific
branch of the military in which you (or the veteran for whom you are
applying if request is being made by next of kin) served.
