The Stolen Valor Act of 2005, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006, was a U.S. law that broadened the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, or sale of any military decorations and medals. The law made it a federal misdemeanor to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal.
Since revised in 2013 for denying "freedom of speech", wearing of the uniform and claim military service to recieve benefits, and false honors is still legal.
We need to change this, anyone who has not had the honor of serving our nation, should not be seen as the heroes that do, and should be held accountable for it.
