Anyone convicted of fraudulently wearing a Medal of Honor faces up to a year in prison and a 100-thousand-dollar fine.

I despise the vile impostors.

Anyone caught doing this should be publicly caned and then forced to do a live interview on all major networks. Maybe put them in the gallery during the State of the Union speech and point them out.

Despicable. There are a few awards in my profession and in my avocation that I aspire to. I wouldn't dream of faking them. I might not get them, but I might still. The most likely is an age group national championship in the 3000m racewalk next March at the indoor Masters' Track and Field meet in Boston. I had to drop out at 700m of this year's competition with a muscle strain. I've rested and am slowly ramping up my training.

Couldn't we just shoot them instead?

My Nephew was killed near fallujah. At his funeral in his home in N.J. some whacko impersonated a marine officer in full dress uniform with all kinds of medals.
He got very near J. T.s mom and then the f.b.i. nabbed the nutcase. Good thing J.T.s father didn't get ahold of this guy at the time or all of the emotions would have come out and the idiot would have become a statistic.

I think there are also more POW poseurs than there are POW's, and 6 or 8 times as many SF/SEAL/MACV-SOG phonies as there are the real thing.

Hmm, I think I know where three Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star are that should also be taken back.

Thanks for your help sending me to Michael 81dus.He sent me the medals I had lost in a fire in record time.When I asked him for a fax number to send a copy of my orders to,he replied,"You cant wear them without them,so I trust you".I am trying to figure out if the people who try and get away with that nonsense are stupid,have mental issues,or a death wish.If the perps get caught by the wrong person,they could be in for some serious physical harm.On the wall of the Big Springs VA hospital, is a wall of MOH winners,pictures and the story behind it.It is one of my favorite places to be while I am there.They are the real deal.Congratulations to the men and women who expose them.
