I am not so sure about that, I know that in the case of my father and his brothers the medals meant very little in fact a couple of them only applied for theirs very late in life and they never even took them out of the box they arrived in.
However when I inherited them they were invaluable for gathering information about them and passing on information to others, so from a genealogical point of view they actually mean a lot.
