Veteran Organization checks validity of "heroes!"

Veteran's Organization Calls out FAKES!

Here's an interesting article that ran in this morning's Columbus Dispatch about an organization that checks the validity of claims that people in the community make about their service for our country. Lots of fakes out there! It's a shame that they EVER steal glory from the real heroes, and/or tarnish the medals for valor that mean so much to our military. A number of Clarksburg Ohio World War II veterans earned medals the "hard way" -- in many cases by leaving their lives on the battlefield. The Medal of Honor, The Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart, among others are earned so rarely, but with much sacrifice and honor. It takes a passionate group to make sure everything is right!
