FAQ
Trying to located military records for a loved one can be a daunting task. The US National Archives maintains a website called the National Personnel Records Center. Here military and civilian records from World War 1 to the present can be accessed. There is a guided process that will help family and friends find documents for personal or historical reference. These include the Report of Separation form (DD214).
All service members who have been in the military are given a Report of Separation document, commonly known as a DD-214. This document has the basic information regarding the service history as well as the list of awards bestowed upon the service member. If you have the DD-214 you can purchase reproductions of the ribbons and medals from us at our Sacramento location. For veterans, replacement medals are free from the National Personnel Records Center. Next of kin and cvilians can request documents and medals for a fee as well.
