and for some further info here is some more I was able to dig up for you.

Military personnel and veterans are authorized to have medals replaced by the government free of charge.

Here's how to request medal replacement:

Obtain a copy of Standard Form 180. You can also call (314) 538-4261 and request the form be mailed to you.

Print or type your name, social security number, date of birth, and place of birth in section 1, blocks 1 through 4.
3. Print or type your service dates in the applicable spaces in section 1, block 5.

4. Indicate whether or not the individual is deceased in section 1, block 6.

5. Indicate whether or not the person retired from the military in section 1, block 7.

6. In Section 2, indicate which medals you need to have replaced.

7. Enter your return address and signature in section 3. Only the servicemember, guardian, or next of kin may sign the form.

8. Mail the completed form to the following address:
