UPDATE 01/28/2012
In your "Urgent News, Articles
and Updates" section of your website, you have a pdf
file FBI poster of an unidentified murdered Marine
with Marine Corps tattoos asking the online
community who he is. A forum called Websleuths.com
has a thread there about the unidentified murdered
Marine with Marine Corps tattoos and they announced
the PA state troopers investigating the case think
have a match on who he is. He might be Robert
Daniel Corriveau. Here is the link to that
thread where they announced a match.

The SVA remains a good idea in principle, but the
phony (Carmine Cannarella) was charged with "False Use
of Seals". The
charge is attached. Not because of any problem
foreseen with the SVA (the Supreme Court challenge was
still in the future), but because the SVA was almost
always a misdemeanor. "False Use of Seals," though was
less sexy, is a felony.
Phonies should be felons, when possible. Pass the word.

Montana senators help move bill forward
Daily Inter Lake
The US Supreme Court earlier this year struck down the Stolen
Valor Act that made ... In the latest twist, the
Senate attached the Stolen Valor Act of 2012 ...
... Doug Sterner, a former Kalispell resident whose wife wrote
the policy analysis that became the original Stolen Valor Act,
said he’s pleased with Congress’ efforts to keep the issue at
the forefront.
“It is a very good thing,” Sterner said about the amendment
Friday. “It eliminates the need to amend the House Bill [Heck's]
or the Senate Bill [Webb’s] to make the two compatible. If the
House passes the Defense Authorization Bill ...
it becomes
law upon signing of the act by the president.”
Sterner called the amendment a “very smart move by the
Senate....

Recently, I’ve mentioned the Holzers’
forthcoming second edition of Fake
Warriors: Identifying, Exposing, and Punishing
Those Who Falsify Their Military Service.
Even though the book will be available in about
a month, in today’s blog I am taking the unusual
step of publishing Chapter 9 in its entirety.
Why?
Because as soon as possible, we want to kill
the "Stolen Valor Act of 2011" bill now pending
in the House of Representatives (H.R. 1775) and
Senate (S. 1778).
If you’re shocked, you shouldn’t be after
reading our Chapter 9....

Google "Stolen Valor and Supreme Court" - there are
hundreds of articles on the oral arguments held Feb 22.

Hello, my grandfather was a WWII vet whose plane was shot
down. He had shrapnel in his leg and was taken as a POW. He
eventually received a Purple Heart as well as some other
medals. It infuriated me to know others were lying about
military honors for there own gain because of this and the
fact I have many friends actively serving our country. I am
in law school and decided to
write a
paper for our Public Law Review regarding the issue. I
did a lot of research on the issue and I believe the paper
gives people a good background on the issue. .....
Sincerely,
Jackson Killion

10th Circuit upholds Stolen Valor Act
Posted: 01/27/2012 11:55:06 AM MST
Updated: 01/27/2012 12:01:41 PM MST
By John Ingold
The Denver Post
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals this morning upheld the
Stolen Valor Act, which makes lying about having received
military awards a federal crime.
Attorneys for Rick Strandlof, who claimed to be a decorated
combat veteran, had argued that the act was an unconstitutional
violation of free speech. A federal district court judge agreed,
dismissing the charges against Strandlof......
=============================================
Supreme Court will hear oral
arguments on the Stolen Valor Act on George Washington's
birthday, FEB 22, 2012.
At least FIVE Amicus briefs
have been filed in support of the Act that can be
downloaded here:
http://www.americanbar.org/publications/preview_home/11-210.html
They inclue:
1) A brief filed by
Virtually EVERY MAJOR Veterans Organization
2) A brief filed by the
Criminal Justice League together with
The Legion of Valor
3) A brief
filed by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation and
listing more than half of the living MOH recipients as
participants in that brief.
4) A brief filed by
The State Attorneys
General of TWENTY U.S. States
5) A brief filed by
Constitutional Scholar and usually very conservative
(regarding 1st Amendment protections) Legal
Scholar Eugene Volokh
TWO Issues related to the SV
Act no one has yet addressed in any depth:
1) More than a DOZEN states
have passed state versions of the Federal Law, some of
them almost verbatim. IF the SV Act is struck down, what
is the impact on these state laws.
2) Also see this recent
article about legislation introduced in the Senate (on
the heels of a recent case in
Maryland),
the basis of which will hinge on the SV Act:

California Stolen Valor Act heads to

SACRAMENTO -Assemblyman
Paul Cook (R-Yucca Valley) announced that AB 167 gained
the final approval of the Legislature. The bill will
force elected officials to forfeit office if they are
convicted under the California Stolen Valor Act. Under
current state law, an elected official must be convicted
of the federal Stolen Valor Act in order to be forced to
vacate office. The federal Stolen Valor Act states that
it is illegal for a person to make a false claim of a
military decoration. Unfortunately, the federal law has
been challenged in court due to First Amendment issues.
This is due to the fact that the federal law does not
include an “intent to defraud” provision; the California
Stolen Valor Act contains such a provision.
01/2011
We have a
District Court in California and a District Court in
Virginia BOTH upholding the SV Act, with a District
Court in Colorado ruling it unconstitutional. And a 2/1
split in the 9th Circuit Court meaning:
Courts
disagree two to two
The six
judges who have ruled on it split 3 to 3.

Assemblyman Cook's AB 265,
also signed by the governor, pertains to the federal Stolen Valor Act of
2005. The act made it illegal for people to misrepresent themselves as
recipients of military honors. The bill expands on the Stolen Valor Act
and extends the forfeiture of office to state elected officials for
misrepresenting themselves as recipients of the various medals and
decorations for bravery, wounds, campaigns, service or rank.
