Stolen Valor Act of 2013​


After the Alvarez ruling, Congress amended the law as the Stolen Valor Act of 2013. This version focused on fraudulent intent to gain something of value by lying about military service or honors.


The law makes it illegal to claim:


  • To have served in the military or received a valor award or decoration to obtain money, property, or other benefits
  • Military service at a certain rank to obtain benefits
  • To be a recipient of specific valor awards and decorations to obtain benefits

The restricted list of awards includes the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Purple Heart, and several others.

Violating the law can lead to fines, up to a year in prison, or both. Prosecution must prove the defendant lied with direct intent to receive tangible benefits.


Seems the Liberal party didn't get the memo.
