How do you find out if a relative was awarded any medals or ribbons during his time of service in the army?
If you mean where to buy them, then you can do so at a Military Surplus store, or more likely on a Military (preferably Army) Base, in the Clothing and Sales store. They have pretty much any award you might be trying to find.
If you are trying to find out what medals you are entitled to, the first place to look would be your DD214, your discharge papers. It should list all of the awards you have been given.
