Me too- about 6 years ago, with my son-in-law, we stopped into a Army-Navy surplus store near Division Ave. in Grand Rapids- owned and run buy chinks-Nov, near Veterans Day, I wore a USMC logo baseball cap- One of the slant-eyed scammers asked me if I had possibly lost my Purple , and if so, he carried replacements for $30.00 plus tax. I told him that I was NOT entitled to wear that Badge of Honor, and that all those who were awarded that had their name, rank, sn and Branch of Service and date of incident of wounding in combat-and that if I had indeed been awarded that Badge of Honor, the VA would get me, or any other combat Veteran a replacement at no charge-
I reported this to the Post Cmdr. of our Legion Post, and from what I heard, "the shit hit the fan for old Charlie Chan". Friggin' scamming gooks- trying to make a buck for selling Purple Hearts to 'Nam or Desert Storm "Wannabees"- I also read in the Legion magazine about some chinks in a New York area getting caught selling counterfeit CMH medals for $500- makes me want to puke.. Ten years in Leavenworth on hard labor details for the "Stolen Valor" azzholes is my suggestion.. RWTF
