“Here is a link I’ve found to be helpful when checking on some Wannabe’s “exploits”.
I know a guy here in town who goes about telling of his exploits at Khe Sahn. He was in the Marines, but it always struck me that his story was from a book. Any way of checking out things of this sort? He never makes claims of medals or displays such.
The important medals (like the Navy Cross) can be verified on a couple of websites who list all the recipients of same. Next time the guy starts bragging, try to nail him down as to exactly what kind of medal he may have received then try to verify it on the web.
