All branches. The St. Louis Archives housed the personal files of inidividual soldiers. Some of the same information can be obtained through the Archives at College Park, MD, where they house the records of the various units. If you know the unit, they may be able to find the order that presented an award to a soldier.

How do you get your greatgrand fathers USMC records?
The records, if they exist, are in the National Archives. See the related link below to connect to the website of the NARA and find information as to how to go about obtaining a copy. The reason there is a question whether the records might still exist is that there was a fire in 1974 at the warehouse in St. Louis (caused by careless smoking) where many service records were stored, which destroyed a goodly percentage of WWII service records, and some from WWI as well. But it doesn't hurt to ask, and I understand they are "reconstructing" records these days if someone asks. Also, if they were lost in the fire, and if your ancestor lived to get home, there is a chance that the VA MIGHT have a copy.
