I also have my dad‘s medals- he was in the Army Air Cops in World War II . CBI theatre. Can anybody tell me about any of these and are these issued automatically or do you have to do something special to get them? And here’s a close up from the first post.

I was hoping our US members would be able to help. I've Googled Lensed your photos & here is what I got for each one. Click on the links below. The Air Medal: An Effort to Bolster Morale Medal, Good Conduct Medal, United States Army National Defense Service Medal - Wikipedia Distinguished Flying Cross (United States) - Wikipedia As they all in plastic bags it looks to me that somebody has bought them.
Yes, I bought them after getting my father's service record and seeing what he was awarded. Not sure what happened to the originals. (I found out one of my brothers has them).
And these are the last of them. I spoke too soon. These are two my brother has and we don’t know what they are for. I didn’t see them pictured on the website that was posted above.
I can’t seem to remember how to find out which medals someone was awarded. Is there a site to request service records?
It looks like the photos I thought I posted didn’t get posted before. These are the two my brother has. Does anyone know anything about these?

Many many thanks again! Though one of these confuses me because it says it’s for acts of heroism after 1996. My dad was retired from the Reserves by then.
I have no idea, I'm not American. I'm only Google Lensing them because nobody else is helping. Shame that.
Actually , I see now it states after 1958 so it must have been something while he was in the Reserves. None of us eight kids knew anything about these, although I suspect the distinguished flying cross was from the time he did talk about- being shot down in his plane once and how the Chinese villagers helped hide them from the enemy.
