publicly condemn Old Navy for breaking the Stolen Valor Act and bring legal charges to penalize those responsible.

Created by T.K. on November 16, 2013

Army veteran Aaron Bennett was banned from an Old Navy store in Jacksonville, Florida, after he pointed out a teen employee improperly wearing a Marine Corps uniform dress jacket complete with rank insignia, ribbons and a weapons badge.
United States Code makes it illegal "to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal." The law making that illegal is known as the Stolen Valor Act.

According to Bennett, when he informed the store manager, he was approached by a deputy and mall security, who said he was banned from the store.
