One of our ninjas sends us this sad tale of Stolen Valor, Canadian style. From what “Stolen Valour Canada” states, this Capt. Terrence \u201cTerry\u201d Birch fellow is either embellishing or an outright valor thief. The article shows brief service as a reservist in the Canadian Army Service Corp.<\/p>\n
A quick search reveals,<\/p>\n
Transporting supplies from RCOC depots, field parks, or other establishments was the job of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. The RCASC was responsible for holding, moving, and issuing to the fighting troops all food, ammunition, POL (Petrol-or gasoline-Oil, and Lubricants), and any other necessary equipment.

By Nick Seebruch<\/strong><\/p>\n
CORNWALL, Ontario \u2013 Cornwall Legion Branch 297 is reacting after one of its members was called out by Stolen Valor for allegedly wearing military medals he did not earn.<\/p>\n
Stolen Valor is an organization dedicated to investigating those improperly wearing medals.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, Stolen Valor published a tweet alleging that Capt. Terrence \u201cTerry\u201d Birch was wearing several medals in public that he is not entitled to wear.<\/p>\n
Stolen Valor alleges that there is no evidence that Birch is entitled to wear the Special Service Medal, Centennial Medal, Canada 125th Medal or the Queen\u2019s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Stolen Valor further alleges that Birch\u2019s Sovereign\u2019s Medal for Volunteers should be investigated and reviewed due to it\u2019s awarding being based on his claimed service record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen individuals commit stolen valor . . . they degrade the honour and sacrifice many made to protect our freedoms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Wearing military medals, or uniforms not properly bestowed, or imitation medals or uniforms, is a violation of Section 419 of the Criminal Code. The Legion condemns any Criminal Code violation.<\/p>\n
A Criminal Code violation would be investigated by the local police service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
