  Hi OR roots listers,
  My Mom and Dad want to find out which medals my Uncles Floyd and Loyd Phillips received in WWII.  My Mom had twin uncles who were in the 1st Cavalry based out of Ft. Hood.  They died in February 1945 and March 1945.  We've seen the purple hearts, but want to know what other medals they received.  Do any of you know how to do this?
  Thanks,
  Ronda
