Several points:
1. Somehow, the apparent and obvious went smooth over my head: of course one can always replace medals and ribbons, usually with a quick trip to the PX/BX/NX. Failing this, usually any pawn shop within 500' of a military base will have ample supplies of pracatically any medal awarded since the fall of the Alamo. And as I said, throwing someone else's medals is about as commendable as writing odes to used toilet paper.
2. Thanks for the kind words.
3. And thank your lucky stars for Joy! (which I'm sure you've already done!)
