Quote:
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John T. Salazar (CO-3), the only veteran from the Colorado delegation, today announced the introduction of the “Stolen Valor Act”, legislation to penalize distributors of phony medals and those who fraudulently claim to be decorated veterans. Salazar’s legislation would place criminal penalties on those who falsely claim to have risked their lives for our country, restoring honor to those who have truly earned it.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the link, it lists the House and Senate co-sponsors for the Stolen Valor Act. Doesn't appear that it's getting much support, but, more surprisingly, it appears that it's getting more support from Democrats.
