American "Walt" Catchers

We have some folks here in the United States who have decided "enough" of the stealing of Valor by "Walts". The task has gotten a bit complicated by some Police Departments using DOD Ribbons for use in their own Department Awards Programs.

The Lead Investigator on the Zimmerman/Martin Case was discovered to be wearing some WWII Ribbons on her Police Uniform. A sharp eyed US Marine saw that and began to make inquiries as he suspected the Officer of possibly being wearing inappropriate ribbons from her time in the US Military.

The Sanford Police Department quickly admitted it was the Department that had issued the Ribbon to the Officer as a result of her service with the Police rather than her wearing ribbons from her time in Military Service that caused the situation.

Way too many real Walts exist....and this group does a good job of outing them when discovered.
