Q. I have found a WWI (US) Victory Medal and cannot figure out whose it was. Would like to find a list online that I can search by surname. Thanks.
A. There is no open database that will allow you to research by name who received the WWI Victory Medal. The medal was awarded to everyone in the US Military during WWI (same for WWII for the WWII Victory Medal). If you have a great grandparent (or grand parent) who served in the US Military during WWI, then you can bet that person was awarded the medal. To find out if he/they were awarded other medals, you will need to submit a form available on www.archives.gov that requests the info for "your" parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. The form provides the requirements to validate your family lineage for this purpose.
If you have any documents, eg. discharge certificate or a picture that shows a military unit that your relative was assigned, that will help the archives to research the info. Be sure to list the military service. You should be able to get additional info from your parents or any living aunts and uncles. Fill in as much info as you can e.g. date of birth, place of birth, etc. You can request his/her person military record file. It takes about 6 months for the archives to respond.
Good luck.
PS: If there is a match, ask for an issue of all military awards that he/she rates. The govt will do this one time without cost to the next of kin. Did this for my WWII serving father.

What are some college grants for military spouses?
Q. I am 20, starting my first year of college. My husband is active duty in the army and he is just a private first class, what kind of grants could i get for college?
A. Sorry, but there aren't grants available to specifically military spouses. You do have access to FAFSA just like every other college student.
Does anyone know the likelihood of being granted a military waiver for non recurrent thrombophlebitis?
Q. I can't seem to find any information online about this specific condition regarding waivers for military entrance. According to DOD enlistment standards it is a waiver able condition after one year. Im in shape and healthy as a horse now, but in reality, what are the chances of being granted a waiver for the air force?
A. Gather up ANY and ALL medical records related to your condition and treatment. Give them to the recruiter so they can be sent to MEPS for a "medical prescreen".
can military waivers be granted for people that had ADHD as a child?
Q. My Daughter had ADHD as a child and has basically matured to a point of having no symptoms and does not need medication anymore. She was trying to join the US Army and has been disqualified do to her history of ADHD. Is there anything she can do to contest the disqualification?
A. yes she is eligible for a waiver. whether or not one will be granted.. is another story. if she has not been off the meds for at least 12 months and can demonstrate functioning normally(graduate school, hold down a steady job,etc) , then she will not get a waiver.
and frankly just being eligible for one does NOT mean they will grant it. in fact they really do not need to grant waivers at this time. .
