- Are you attempting to obtain records or lost or stolen service medals?
- Military service records are maintained at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. My office may make an inquiry on your behalf to obtain your records. In some cases, files may have been destroyed by a major fire in 1973. No copies were made of these records before they were destroyed, making them difficult to obtain. Replacement service medals can also be obtained with proper documentation and authorization. Return to Top
