ONE IS NEVER SURE IF A STORY IS TRUE OR NOT THESE DAYS AS MOST PRESS IS FAR FROM TRUSTWORTHY.
IF THE STORY IS TRUE I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MUSEUM IS VERY SHAMEFUL.

THE MEDAL IS JUST A OBJECT WITH A SET VALUE, THE OLD SOLDIER IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE AND THE MEDAL REPRESENTS THE SACRIFICE AND ACTS HE DID TO EARN IT. A METAL IS JUST A PIECE OF TIN AND RIBBON AND IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT THE ACTS AND SACRIFICE OF THE BRAVE WHICH ARE TRUELY PRICELESS.
I HOPE SOMEONE IN THE MILITARY WITH POWER TAKES UP THE OLD SOLDIERS CAUSE AND SENDS A OLD DRILL SEARGENT TO CHEW OUT THE MUSEUM REPRESENITIVE WHO IS BEING SUCH A LOUSE AND TAKE THE MEDAL TO THE OLD MAN.
