It's Stolen and i Know it

To have watched this video i find that as I’m, military child, I can say I know what it means to have a soldier in the family. My dad has now severed over sees twice, been at three floods to help, and one tornado. He has been gone a lot. He also has come back all of those times, when he came back he got medals for serving.

Now you can go online and buy these same medals for about $1.25 to $7.50 for the metal ones. ( found prices at http://www.usamilitarymedals.com/army-army-full-size-skill-qualification-badges-c-2069_1201.html) But to do this you must think about why you are buying these medals. Now if you are dressing up for Halloween as a army person, and you want it to look good, and its only a costume then you can go right ahead. But if the drive is to start saying that you did what those medals mean, are you being honest or respect full to those men and women who severed for their county and sometimes gave their lives.

To go out and buy those medals is disrespectful to those men and women, the medals they are award have special meaning and levels of important to those guys. To wear those medals around if they do, they tell the story of that solider service to their county to other men and women in the service.

Now when you see a decorated army guy you must understand they did the time. If you buy a U.S. Army recruiter identification badge, you are saying you have meet criteria that allows you to recruit people to the service. (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r600_8_22.pdf) To wear that means you have spent time going threw background checks and also getting approved by people.

To be in the service and get these awards is an honor and a career changer. When you start to go out and buy these medals, you are plagiarizing someone’s hard word and you are saying you did it.

Now what will happen is that when you wear those medals and say you were there, you will look like a great fool because if you don’t do any research you might buy a World War 2 award. Then what will happen is that soldiers will go out and make angry YouTube videos mocking you and they will because I know in someplace they have a lot of free time to make the videos good.
