How the heck did that Purple Heart Certificate get in his records?? Really, a Purple Heart with One Silver Star and One Gold Star??? This would mean that he was given a Purple Heart before. This is no way his first Award. Each Award is for an action. Not for several actions over a time period.
I do believe that on Awards it states 5th award or 6th award not a silver or gold star. That’s for the ribbons. Something smells fishy here. I would love to see what the Navy says.

Forgot as John Kerry shown, when you get 3 Purple Hearts you are out of theater. Someone should check with VA too. This would mean he is service connected and should be easy to check.

This guy is bull shit. All the Purple Heart certs I have seen has never had “one Gold/Silver star in between the lines. Those would be awarded on different certs. Each time he received a Purple Heart would be listed on its own cert and the reason why he is receiving the award for. I worked on certs on in the military and by looking at, this is a forgery. Also the font on this cert is wrong. We used Times Roman on all the certs. The pic of George Washington in the heart also looks wrong. It looks like it’s a copy of a copy. Even when making a copy, you should be able to see Washington’s face.
Also, his rank, name and branch would be on one line, not three seperate lines. Anyone who ever worked on a cert knows that.
I also work at a VA and deal with eligibility each day. If I came across this cert, I would be highly alert. I can check if you like and do a Hinq to verify?
Seems foolish that the admin at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor don’t have a system established to verify if the Purple Heart is valid.
I did a HINQ on this faker and he isn’t in the VA system. Surprised that he hasn’t try to get his Purple Heart benefits thru the VA. Unless he as a different alias that we don’t know about.

Something just doesn’t seem right.. I also found several court cases of fraud with his name on them.
