| 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:
