I’ve thought about having my dad request my grandfathers medals. But I sorta feel like that would be disrespectful, since he clearly didn’t want anything to do with his time in the war. Maybe I should honor that. The curiosity is there though.

My grandfather threw all of his military stuff away when he got back and never once talked about his experience. I’m always so curious about his time in the war, what it was like to be Jewish. He refused to carry a gun because of his religion, so he became a medic. I hope he had a prayer book like your grandfather’s.

Did you know you can request a family members medals from the military? Only the eldest child or something can request them though.
