After his death, Jose Velez was awarded two Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and a Silver Star. But burglars stole them all from his parents' home in June.

Scum. These medals have no monetary value. You can buy any medal (except the Medal of Honor) from any Nex or PX for under $10. Most ribbons are $.50 and devices are about a buck.

To steal something like this that has no street value but immeasurable sentimental value makes me steam with anger.

What would posses a person to steal something like that? Pehaps one of Cindy Sheehans' followers? That's dispicable!

Those are sons to take great pride in. My heart and prayers go out to their family and friends (with my hand over my heart). Thank God for such as these.
