    A pair of congressmen want to establish the first database for military awards to help law enforcement officials catch and prosecute military frauds. The measure, to be introduced in the House this week, would collect the names of all current and former servicemembers who have earned military medals including the Medal of Honor, Silver Star and Purple Heart.
