All Discharges will have a section showing all medals etc. awarded. If a Discharge is not among personal papers, check with County Clerk Office- many vets were told to file a copy of discharge with that office (I did after Vietnam). If the veteran went to college on the GI Bill, the VA (and maybe the college) will have a copy of it as proof of service. If the vet bought a house with VA financing, there's a copy there. And if they bought a house, they were probably entitled to a property tax break, where the discharge would again have to have produced as proof. If the vet joined a VFW or American Legion post, they would have a copy which was submitted to prove eligibility to join. And if the veteran is deceased, the funeral director would have a copy in order to submit for a US flag for the casket. And. of course, the slowest way is to write a letter requesting this information to the US service he was a member of. I know the US Army is: DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, US ARMY RESERVE PERSONNEL CENTER, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132-5200. Give as much information as you can (Name, dates of service or where service was rendered, rank, service number or social security number. etc. Be sure to include something official (notarized) proving the vet is deceased and your relation to him).
"His dishonest acts made him a disgrace to his family and his community." "The soldier was certain he was returning home in disgrace, only to find that during his absence, he had been awarded several medals for bravery."

All US medals are awarded in an awards ceremony. The higher the award, the higher the rank awarding the medal, up to the Medal of Honor, personally awarded by the President of the United States.
He was awarded 15 awards, or medals. No joke. I am doing a project on him and I found this on StephenHawkingBio.org But this website is expired now. I hope this helped!!

Your DD-214 will have all awards and medals that you have been awarded, however you can submit a request for records through your local VA, but it is a process. You should maintain all documents from your time in service most copies will not be available for reproduction.
432 Medals of Honor were awarded in WWII, but long after the end of the war, a group of 10 or so black WWII soldiers (some posthumously) were added to that number. They were given lesser awards because during the war the US Army was segregated, and as a result, no black Americans were awarded the MOH.
Total Number of gold Medals awarded at the Athens Olympics were 301.
Each country awarded it's own medals. The list depends on what country you are referring to.
Military heroes receive awards in different forms. Medals, based on the degree of heroism can be awarded. Battlefield commissions can also be awarded. Heroes are also rewarded after military service, such as Audie Murphy (movie actor), and US Grant (US Presidency).
In the modern Olympic games, Gold medals are awarded for first-place, Silver medals are awarded for second-place, and Bronze medals are awarded for third-place. Typically the medals are only plated with the respective metals - the cost would otherwise be outrageous. In the ancient Olympic games, the winners received laurel wreaths.
There are Medals of Honor being awarded to individuals that earned them in World War 2, Vietnam and Somalia. Check the site linked below for some of the most recent awards and the citations behind them. 3,468 medals have been awarded sence the first one during the Civil War.
