workman=marine who first noticed
"Workman got a hold of them and said they told him they didn?t have their own awards system, so they went to the Army-Navy store around the corner and picked out Defense Department military ribbons to fit their own format. The WWII was selected, the police department official told Workman, because they knew there weren?t many veterans from that period alive so they didn?t think people would notice.
?At the end of his explanation I thought to myself, ?So that makes it all better now because these guys are dead?? ? Workman said. ?The fact that that was their response is still pretty shameful, I think.?"
