Default WWII Records

So I remember reading something on this forum a while ago about getting records for relitives who served in WWII, as well as full medals.

My grandfather, who passed away in 2005, was a Engineer SFC and served in the Battle of the Buldge, among other engagements. He received a military funeral, and on his grave, it noted he received the Air Medal. I had not heard anything about this from his stories, and considering he was an Engineer Sergeant, this seemed highly unusual - though I have heard of it happening - transport plane taking fire, crash landings, things like that. Also, things like that don't get put on military headstones lightly - they is research done, and records to prove it all - typically done by the WFV, or a governmental body. Anyway, my father (granddad's son) is all about doing research, and I wanted to find a way to get ahold of his old records, and possibly find the citation for his Air Medal, and get a copy of the medal itself (along with the WWII victory medal, and whatever else my Grandfather earned) I remember some folks posting links to various sites, etc. but my Search Fu has failed me, and I figured I would post something new and try and find the answer. Any help wouldbe appreciated.
