Medal Military
is it Illegal to Deface US Military Medals and issue them to a club members?
Is It illegal to Deface a US Military Medal IE “Distinguished Flying Cross ” and issue it to members of a flying club as an achievement?.. I know it is distastefull but is it illegal? They Drill a hole in it and put a wingnut on it!
Since they are modifying the medal to be their own I do not think that it is exactly illegal. If they did not modify it, it would be illegal.
The following is a copy/paste from another question that someone asked on Yahoo answers.
