My grandfather was a Naval Aviator in WWII he won a DFC at Midway. He also was awarded assorted Bronze Stars etc.
My Family managed to lose these decorations.

I would really like to replace these with official medals.
Who do I contact in the DoD to have these medals replaced along with the award certificate? Thanks for your help guys. By the way he carried the S&W Model 10 Victory Model as his personal sidearm.
