3. My first question here is do those medals

have much monetary value? With all due respect for what a Purple Heart signifies, there are so many of them out there I can't imagine they have any value. The same with all of the other medals. My brother-in-law had a bronze star, and after he passed away someone gave a rose bush to my sister that's called Bronze Star, which was very touching and wonderful.

My point is, that even though all of the medals have meaning, I rather doubt they have much monetary value. Except, I'm sure, for a Medal of Honor. And I cannot begin to imagine selling one of those.

But your suggestion about finding a museum or group to cherish and display his medals, what a wonderful suggestion!
