Jim asks if he can serve in other ways. Ask him to contact the "Stolen
Valor" people with Robesin's claims of seven hostile actions.

I don't have to do a thing beyond giving
the military personnel there some public information.

How to Spot a Phony Veteran Or False POW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor's Note: If your organization or company is confronted by a
self-proclaimed veteran or former POW, there is a simple process by
which you can verify the information. In addition, several
organizations listed here can provide useful support for validating the
military service, decorations and wartime experiences of any
self-proclaimed veteran.

Verifying a Veteran's Records

(1) Require a full set of identification papers and military documents
before you agree to employ or deal work with the veteran.

Many would-be veterans simply fabricate their biographies from thin
air, but others have been known to forge documents or even to commit
"identity theft" of actual POWs or veterans. So it is necessary not
only to check out his claims but to compare his documentation against
that of the military archives.

You should begin by informing the veteran that because all too many
phony veterans have deceived the public in recent years about their
wartime experiences, it is a sad necessity that you cannot accept his
claim at face value, and have to confirm the veteran's identity and his
official records before you may proceed. The first step is to obtain a
transcript of his military service from the National Military Records
Center in St. Louis, Mo. - the branch of the National Archives that
handles all military personnel records.

You should insist on the following from the claimant himself: A copy of
birth certificate or passport, driver's license, Form DD-214 (summary
of military service at discharge), and a copy of the General Order for
each award or medal. You should obtain his Social Security number.

And more....
