But there has been a whole slew of medals authorized since he and I were discharged. I had the link to a site, but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of medals?

  You will need to send a copy of your DD 214 and request that they send you all metals that you are authorized to receive . 
  Send To :  Commander 
                       US Army Support Activity
                       Philadelphia , Pa  19101-3460
  They advised me that " The metals that you are authorized will be sent within approx. . 120-180 days .
   You are authorized the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation Badge . This foreign award 
is not issued by the Dept. of The Army , but may be purchased from civilian dealers in military insignia "
    Also you can receive the Korean War Service Medal by sending a copy of your DD214 to Randolph
 AFB , San Antonio , Texas .  The best way to peruse 
 getting this medal is to contact your local VFW post
  Quartermaster and request their assistance .
