    This Act was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012 as an infringement on Free Speech and is not in force anymore.

    (It also only applied to US medals.)

    It's in bad taste to sell medals that are engraved with a name, especially. That generally means the person died. That said, if there's no family left it's better than throwing them in the trash.

    I should have buried dad's military items with him. At the time, you just don't think of that.

    Maybe you needed them with you more. My mother desperately needed her father's medals with her and I understood.

    They're a visual reminder and don't take much space. I still have my dad's. My cousin has Grandpa's WWI medal.

    Some people collect it because the Nazis had cool tech at the beginning, way ahead of its time. Some collect because it's history. Some people, ahem. Just..ahem.
