You should contact the Stolen Valor website - they can advise you on legal ramifications and on obtaining contrapositive documentation.

The fact that this guy is claiming to have won a Navy Cross as a pilot at the age of 15 is egregious and may violate federal law.

He sounds like a piker - perhaps a real Navy vet could engage him in conversation - a fake will be found out within minutes. ...... frankenMonkey

The Stolen Valor Act of 2005 makes the unauthorized wear, manufacture, sale or claim (either written or verbal) of any military decorations and medals a federal class D felony offense.

If, however, you can legally prove that you are a Navy veteran, you have a documented blood alcohol level of 0.14 ** and ..... this is crucial ..... you begin your story with the phrase, "Now this is a no sh!tter", then you are protected from legal consequences by the "Sea Story Clause" of said act.

* Now this is a no sh!tter.

** Sea stories not claiming personal valor are legal regardless of blood alcohol levels.
