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.

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 or out of date medals seems fine to me .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 .

Who sells their super bowl ring? Maybe it is some vet who's down on their luck OR a family member whos dad, brother, husband passed on and they do not want to look at anything reminding them of their service.
A good friend of mine asked me to sell off a few rifles his lathe father acquired in the pacific during WWII. While they held some significance history wise. He felt the pain his dad went through would be lessened buy getting rid of anything related to that time.

A quick bit of Googling and we find that the ad was posted by the owner of "Stuff N Such" a second hand store in Westminster

A lot of folk sell off grandpa's medals ... I see them at garage sales and in antique malls all the time. Hell, a vet could have put them in a storage locker, died off and thus stopped paying for the locker so someone came along and bought the locker (ala Storage Wars).



I find it more troubling that a business owner can't seem to type a coherent sentence.
