How do you go about getting a medal awarded from World War 2 that was never issued?

I don't know but I would advise asking at your local American Legion post or VFW hall. Either of those organizations will have someone who can at least tell you who to contact.Michael Montagne I have the answer you are looking for I believe! I recently got some of my father's medals that were issued to him but he never received them until last year. If you are interested you can write the:National Personnel Records Center(Military Personnel Records)9700 Page Ave. St. Louis, Missouri 63132-5100 If you would like a copy of the request form you must fill out for them to send them to you, email me. I have a PDF file that you can fill it out then print it and send it to them.

How many former SS soldiers fought in the French legion during their war in Vietnam in the 50s?

When you join the French Foreign Legion you have the chance to "change" your name and create another name that the Legionnaire will go by for his initial 5 year contract. If the Legionnaire signs another contract for more years then he will go by his phony name also. The Legion "erases" their members past histories and their personal information. This is why many former members of the Waffen-SS/Heer who alligned themselves with the Nazi Party joined the Legion so they could escape from their past. Many of the Legionnaires that were killed during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu were "alleged" members of the Waffen-SS/Nazi party followers. Unfortunaly most will never know how many were in the Waffen-SS/Heer because those that were changed they names when they joined the Legion. Many members of the Legion changed there names, so we cant rule out all of the members that died in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu as once belonging to the Waffen-SS/Heer. Only God knows the true answers to history's mystories. Officialy none, as the French Legion was supposed to reject former Nazis or people who were suspected of war crimes; there is a custody before recruiting any and SS were easy to recognize because of their Tatoos. But several Wehrmacht (German army of that time) soldiers and officiers joined the Legion after WW2. It cannot be excluded that here and there some SS peopel could join the Legion, but it was not an official policy. Some nazi scientists taht had worked on the German A-Bomb and rocket programs were on the other hand recruited by the French, the US, the Russians, the brits, etc...

Where can you find Vietnam veterns who were in the war with y father?

1. The Vietnam War was the LAST war in which servicemen were issued a SERIAL NUMBER. Having your father's serial number would help your research; most US Servicemen from Vietnam will have TWO numbers-SSN & Serial #. Go by the SSN; but the serial number will assist you; Vietnam was a transitional period for the military. 2. Contact the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America); this is vet organization, the same as the VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, etc. The VVA was founded by Viet War vets; the VFW was founded by Spanish-American War vets in 1899; the Legion was founded by WW1 vets in 1919; and the AMVETS were founded by WW2 vets in 1944. 3. Each Unit (Division, Regiment, Squadron, Battalion) normally has a website. When you find out which UNIT your father was in, go to that site.

How many US Vietnam vets have returned to visit Vietnam since relations were restored?

There is no way to keep track of the number because there are a variety of ways that a veteran can visit Vietnam today. He (or she) could go over on their own with their family on regular airlines and travel around as a tourist. Or they could be part of a group, but there are many groups today with veterans that travel. There are American Legion groups, VFW groups, AMVET groups, Marine Corps League groups, and, well, you get the picture.
