Best Answer

The military issues one set of medals to the recipient.

But copies of medals are readily available through military supply stores. You can even get a complete set of ribbons and rank structures. Many of them have it set up so that you can send them a copy of the DD214 and they will complete a full shadow box for you.

Can you find out who was issued your gun in a war?

Probably not- I am retired from the US Army- and in 23 years, I must have been issued at least 20 different weapons. When you leave a unit, the weapon gets turned in for re-issue to someone else. MOST military weapons did not have a record of the name of the soldier it was issued to. An exception to that were the rifles that were issued to members of the Swiss Army- when you finished training, you took your rifle home, and came back for two weeks of training each year. Many members of the Swiss military had a slip of paper under the buttplate with their name, serial number of the rifle, and their address- in case they misplaced their rifle, it could be returned to them. My Swiss K-31 was issued to Renee, who carried it for 20 years, and turned it in when he retired.

100percent Disabled Veteran Free Parking Yes or NO?

This question requires more information. Each state is entitled to vary their veteran's benefits as they so choose. Many states offer free metered parking to disabled veterans who are issued official permanent DMV/BMV Disabled American Veteran license plates for their vehicles. These privileges may only be used when the disabled veteran is driving or being driven in the vehicle. Typically, this benefit is only applicable to metered parking. Parking garages, private parking, and venue parking (ball fields, etc) may all charge for parking - and most do. Regardless, a disabled veteran must be issued the permanent license plate to receive the benefit. In addition, most states do not require a veteran to be 100% disabled (service or compensable) to receive the benefit.

Can members of the Army buy different guns than what are issued to them?

Members of the Army, if they wish to buy guns, have to buy different guns than what they're issued, since the ones they're issued aren't available on the civil market (being in the military doesn't permit you to buy firearms which Joe Citizen can't buy). However, you can only use the ones you're issued in an operational capacity. You can't buy your own sidearm and deploy with it instead of what you're issued.
