If the medal belonged to the veteran, there's no need to trace it...it already has the information any number will give it. To get the citation, that's a different bit of research, and there are a few angles to try to find that.

The only thing I've done with citations (past looking on ancestry and newspapers) was getting my Grandpa's USCG Commendation citation. I sent in an NARA records request and under "other" I specifically asked for the citation. I did get it, just totok some months, but so worth it. Is that the best way?
