Beretverde- I can only assume that you know for a fact that this officer is in fact lying and had never been awarded the Purple Heart. I hope you are know your facts. It would be unfortunate if he did in fact lie about it, though it would not be surprising considering so many people have made such claims as even being in the service when they never served. Though I totally agree with @Aww Now. Ha more ›
