I clearly expressed my desire to do this once - to the annoyance and protest of those who kept pointing to the law... so i dismissed my desire to do such a thing.

I used to get catalogs filled with various US Military medal replicas which could be used for such purposes as flag cases etc.

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)
