Veterans Information
|
| This page contains information useful for
all veterans but will be tailored to the specific
needs of the 2nd Battalion 60th Infantry veteran.
|
The following article appeared in the Fort Stewart, GA, Retiree Bulletin, April 1998. Veterans Entitled to Replacement
Set of Medals |
| All honorably discharged veterans are entitled to a onetime, free of charge replacement set of their authorized medals and ribbons from the U.S. Government. Submit your request in writing to: |
U.S. Army Reserve
Personnel Center |
| The request must contain the veteran's full
name, service or social security number,
branch of service, and dates of service (approximate dates are okay) Also, the request must be signed by the veteran, if deceased, the veteran's next of kin can sign the request on his/her behalf. Ensure the information on the request is clear and easy to read. It is helpful to attach a copy of the Discharge Certificate to the request but, this is not required. It is best to use Standard Form 180 (Request Pertaining to Military Records) to send request if possible. You may download Standard Form 180 from this web site: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/standard-form-180.html

record. Next-of-kin are the unremarried widow or widower, son or daughter, father or
mother, brother or sister of the deceased veteran.
The Standard
Form (SF) 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records, although not
mandatory, is the recommended method to send a request for military service
