Default Stolen Valor Website

There used to be a website that had a huge directory of all people caught in breech of the Stolen Valor Laws. The website was great! It listed these fakes by name and in many instances, provided a photo and the story of what happened and the end result.

I cannot find it anymore! Is it still on line?

I think you are talking about AuthetiSEAL, and their Wall of Shame. It has been taken down to a lack of volunteer support. Here's the site.

The fact that these websites even need to run is disturbing in itself. Why can't people just be proud of what they are instead of putting on a mask?

While I think that some cases are due to social inadequacy, I feel that most are out right attempts at fraud to obtain benefits and jobs(from the govt, as well as other sources).

Here is another site:

http://veriSEAL.org/

This site claims that the "authentiSEAL" site is bogus, I have not read the details.

I also believe they have a Wall of Shame.

Thank you they are great sites.

They are needed because of the amount of posers, walts and wannabes out there. Sometimes its hard to tell them apart.

Seminarian_Tim they are just poor unstable individuals. I have caught many myself in my job.

They are so caught up in their lies they truly believe who they say they are.

I understand the need, I just wish we didn't have a need. A lot of people don't understand that to serve one's country is merely to be a good citizen, which doesn't require wearing a uniform and having a chest full of medals. In the words of LT Caffey from "A Few Good Men": "You don't need to have a patch on your arm to have honor."

I saved it just in case the owner wanted to delete it.
