    Poster doesn't seem very literate. They are probably replicas...if not.

    The Stolen Valor Act of 2005, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006,[1] is a U.S. law that broadens the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, or sale of any military decorations and medals. It makes it a federal misdemeanor to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal. If convicted, defendants may be imprisoned for up to six months, unless the decoration lied about is the Medal of Honor, in which case imprisonment could be up to one year.

    Was overturned several years ago, reasoned as being free speech.

    Oh don't worry, I'm sure Obamination will be doing that at one point if he gets reelected...

    I actually puked my guts out there on a school trip.. Apparently, I caught the flu. It was wretched. Ruined the whole trip to DC.

    Thankfully, I got to see the changing of the guard.. or whatever they call it.. few mins later walking to the bus.. it was no bueno.

    selling common medals (good conduct ect.) or out of date medals seems fine to me . kids like to collect and play with them . also i have gotten medals for guys who were only issued the mini medal and wanted the real thing .

    No it wasn't. There was a case being heard just a few months about the Stolen Valor Act.

    The supreme court saw a case regarding this, but they haven't ruled yet.
