Please Read This!
Due to the many imposters out there who, for some reason, want to be known as a "combat vet" (even if they really did serve, but not as they are presenting), there are resources available to help expose them for what they are: WANNABE's. We earned where we are today, the hard way, and cannot understand why anyone would want to do this. Please read this, a reprint from the June 18, 2003 American Legion Magazine. The truth is out there, if you're willing to look for it.
