New Stolen Valor Law: The president signed the new VFW-supported Stolen Valor Act of 2013 into law on Monday. Said VFW National Commander John Hamilton, "the new law is bullet-proof against another constitutional challenge because the focus is now on the intent to profit from the lie --- to obtain money, property or something of a tangible benefit or value --- which is what con artists have been doing throughout history." Not every combat award is covered, but the ones most coveted will now have wannabe heroes facing up to a year in jail and $100,000 fines for each offense.
