Stolen Valor Act

On the other hand, my husband changed his last name many years after being highly decorated. Several times in the past year he has been a target of "heroes" who have tried to spread rumors behind his back, even going so far as to contact the FBI. Amazingly, none of these "honorable and brave" men have ever had the guts to confront him personally and simply ask him about his decorations. They are willing to go to events and talk to other people about him though. Where is the valor in that?

Interesting point. Almost makes you wish that they issued wallet-sized DD214s to eliminate all the drama...Sort of like having to have a license for your animal mask sporran!
