No soldier should ever ever have to buy a deserved medal. I’m not real happy with the idea that any store can even sell them.

I grew up on an Army post, and as a kid I used to while away the time my mom spent shopping by looking at the decorations the PX had for sale in the uniform shop. They even had the Congressional Medal of Honor on sale at the Fort Bragg PX!

The guy waited 55 years to apply for a medal, was told they were temporarily out of stock and he couldn't bother waiting 90 days longer to reapply? Instead he goes running to the media? I call BS!
