Pawn Shop Owner Laughed at the Old Man's "Fake" Medal — Then a Colonel Walked In

A struggling elderly veteran brings in a Distinguished Service Cross to a pawn shop, desperate for money to pay medical bills. The pawn shop owner examines it, declares it a replica, and offers $40. The old man, humiliated, argues that it's real. Another customer — a retired Army Colonel — overhears the conversation, walks over, examines the medal, and recognizes the specific engraving pattern used only on authentic DSC awards. He pulls out his phone, makes a call, and within 2 hours, a veterans' assistance organization arrives. The Colonel personally ensures the man never has to sell his medals. The story reveals how many elderly veterans live in poverty and are forced to part with their most sacred possessions.
