Thank you so much...That would be wonderful to replace all of his Medals. He knocked out a Machine Gun nest while his company was pinned down was the reason for the Silver Star in Korea.

He was also a POW for 3 years in Germany but not even sure what all he got from that. I was able to find some information on the Camp where he was kept as a prisoner but it does not tell much more that his location, name, rank, dates and such.

I have a friend who was a POW at Buchenwald. Quite a story there; especially one about US POWs being moved from camp to camp in wintertime. During the march, German orders where to shoot anyone that dropped ... and that incuded any German guard that dropped.
