Should dealers buy & sell PH medals?

Post by Jim »

Should dealers be allowed to sell and collectors buy Purple Heart medals?
Bill in the U.S. House would stop the sale of the military medal

Day late and a dollar short. You can buy a CMH on eBay right now...

124 MI(LRSD) 90-91 (Desert Storm)

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

The bottom line here is that there is a bill in congress that would restrict sales.

Understood. Just wish they'd put more effort in to burning down the poser turds that try to wear them.

Those days are gone brother. If an actual MOH recipient bitch slapped a poser who was wearing a MOH and never served a day, guess who would go to jail as a "victim"?

Sad days. Our spine has been removed by the PC surgeon, and we have no insurance to pay for it.
