<\/center>\nWe first wrote about David Stump<\/a> a year ago last August when he was first buried in a Chicago area cemetery. His obituary said that he made about 50 parachute jumps behind enemy lines in Vietnam. Anyone with a passing knowledge of that war knows that there were no enemy lines to jump behind.<\/p>\n
Well, it seems that the Department of Veterans’ Affairs arrived at the same conclusions that we did over a year ago and since the family couldn’t justify the Bronze Star Medal and three Purple Hearts listed on his head stone, there’ll be a new stone placed according to the Chicago Tribune<\/a>;<\/p>\n Cemetery officials gave the family about four months to provide documents supporting the Bronze Star and Purple Hearts. The family showed a Tribune reporter yellowing documents, but they never provided clear evidence to satisfy officials at the federal cemetery.<\/p>\n “I find all this awful hard to believe,” said Stump’s widow, Geri. “Where would he get these records from?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But stolen valor is a victimless crime, well except for the family whose last memory of their departed father and husband is the fact that he was a liar most of his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
