now you cant buy them anywhere without someone crawling your ass over this stolen valor law.
His original medals were given by him to his mother after the war, she kept them for a time, and it can only be assumed what happened to them after her death... so i dont have his original medals... i would be required to buy medals. (or replicas - which AFIK you cant do now)

I don't know who these people you're talking about but i'd bet any Army/Navy store could get you what you need to do this and they wouldn't have a problem once you mention your reasons.
Besides it's not like you could pose as a WW2 vet unless you're in your 80's.
