Stolen Valor Hearing: The VFW also testified this week before the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security about what the government can do to better track the awards it presents. Government witnesses were noncommittal as to whether a government-run, searchable military decorations database should be created, whereas the VFW insisted that it was absolutely necessary for the military services to take better ownership of military records, which will help deter Stolen Valor imposters as well as make it easier for veterans to correct errors and omissions in their own service records.
