You have some options as far as replacing medals--you can
(1) Go through the military and attempt to have them replaced. Do you have his discharge papers or anything else official that shows the awards he earned? If you don't, email me & I'll give you a link that will get you started with getting his paperwork...but be forewarned, it took me over a year to get my grandfather's discharge papers.
(2) Or you can purchase the awards from a source such as USA MEDALS. They are the same as issue medals, and this is the route I took for getting my grandfather's medals.
I am sure you are proud of you grandfather's service as I am of my grandfathers'. Good luck in getting his awards.
