Purple Heart Pawned

[CaptainRobin]

I find it shameful that our government does NOT pay our military service members enough that they are reduced to this kind of action to make Christmas for their families. I do applaude the shop owner for his remarks, and he did help out. See the link below.

Thats crazy... I am sure he could not have got a whole lot of money for it.

Probably did't get much cash, BUT... this person was in a position where they felt thay had to do it. A Medal for valor and bloodshed is NOT something you should be forced to pawn to make ends meet. 'Nuff said. Screw the powers that be.
