How to Find Out If I Am Due Any Military Medals
- 1). Download the Standard Form 180 from the National Archives website (see Tesources). Complete Section 1 of the form as thoroughly as possible. In section 2, mark "Other" as what you would like a copy of and write "medals due" in the space provided. For the reason for the request, mark "medals/awards." Complete section 3, which must include your signature.
- 2). Mail the form for Army, Army Air Corps and Air Force medals, to:
National Personnel Records Center
9700 Page Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
Medals are mailed from a different location after the National Personnel Records Center verifies service and awards due. See References for addresses for Army, Air Force and Army Air Corps award mailings. - 3). Mail the form for Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard medals to:
Navy Personnel Command
Liaison Office Room 5409
9700 Page Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
Medals are mailed from a different location after the National Personnel Records Center verifies service and awards due. See References for addresses for Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard award mailings. - 4). Request a search through eVetRecs (see resources). If you are a military veteran of the Army or Air Force, or the next of kin of a deceased Army or Air Force veteran, you may request records and medals online. EVetRecs does not allow Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard veterans to place a request online for medals.
Complete the forms in eVetRecs as indicated. You will need to print and sign the request form. It will be submitted electronically, but a faxed or mailed copy bearing your signature must be sent. All requests are processed through the National Personnel Records Center.
