The military will replace his medals as long as he has not already requested a replacement set in the past , you have to request them I will dig out the address for the request for you.
Here are a couple web sites that you can order new uniforms from but they are at your cost.

Probably easiest to look on eBay for a set, at this point the Government won't give a replacement.

Yes, your nearest Army Surplus would be a quick, low cost option. You might be able to get the complete uniform for less than fifty dollars. Tell the folks at the store what you are trying to do and they might even make a better deal. Good luck!
