Brother's medal grouping

[nkumburis]

I was at a local antique store and I purchased a medal grouping from them their are a total of three named medals two bronze stars and one silver star. One of the bronze stars and the silver star belong to one person and the other bronze star belongs to his brother. It also comes with a purple heart, campaign medals, some ribbon bars and a CIB. If anyone can help me find these brothers or could give me a price range I would appreciate it. - Nick K

Did you try the national archives? This is a good starting place.

I just did a boat load of research but the one thing I cant find is the general orders that state what he did to receive the silver star. Also I need to sell this grouping can anyone help me price it? - Nick K

I like to do as much research so when I pass it on the new owner they have all the information about the awardee. I also like to do research for the sake of research its fun. - Nick K

Ummm, perhaps it is because it will be worth more to a buyer if more of the history is known?
