How do I apply for and/or replace military medals and decorations?
Information on the military medals and decorations that Veterans Affairs Canada are responsible for and a list of qualifying areas of service for Regular Forces is by writing to Honours and Awards, Veterans Affairs Canada, 66 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0P4
Information for Merchant Marines is available by writing to: The Merchant Navy Registry, Veterans Affairs Canada, PO Box 7700, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island C1A 8M9.
What does someone have to do to replace there lost service medals? I know you can contact Vetrens Affairs and you have to buy them, but it takes up to 90 days. Or do you go through unit level and they take care of it for you? Any info would be great thanks.
Warning to all - never ever let your movers move your key military possessions if you can avoid it. Everytime I moved I kept the following in a briefcase with me:
Military medals, decorations and other 'hardware'
Copies of PERs and other performance reports
Your file with all your certificates and achievements
On-of-a-kind high-value military momentos
This stuff is just too difficult to replace, or in some cases impossible to replace!
