You should read Stolen Valor-How the Vietnam Generation was Robbed of its Heroes and its History by Jug Burkett and Fake Warriors by Henry and Erica Holzer, and go to the POW/MIA web-site to see how pervasive this problem is and understand how such wannabe's (men and women) affect us all.

I think it is prudent to tell the family..

The wannabe in question is dead. I can see no good coming out of informing the family. Can you explain what veterans gain versus the additional pain it will cause the family?
I am fully on board with finding and
prosecuting those that we can. This one is beyond the laws reach. I don't agree with using an obituary to inform family members that their recently lost loved one is a liar. Aren't there enough live ones to find? Leave the dead alone.
From the article:

Gene married Margie Haley in February 1947. They had five children.
He worked for the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources and Corrections Department, and was a volunteer firefighter and medic for North Olympia Fire Department.

He led a life of service and was married for 52 years. No one is perfect.
I think it's wrong and you are taking this too far.
You guys have at it.
