As a veteran, I see no stolen valor here. The officer is wearing an award earned in the service of and duly authorized by the Sanford PD. She does not claim to be a WWII vet.
If there is any fault here, it belongs to the PD for electing to use DoD ribbons for its awards.
The solution is for LE agencies to use a consolidated set of awards, just as the branches of the military do.

Agree...28 year vet.
