Army veteran kicked out of Old Navy
Vet's story goes viral on Facebook
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
An Army veteran's story of how he got kicked out of an Old Navy store has gone viral on Facebook and across the Internet.
Aaron Bennett says he was at the Old Navy location in Orange Park when he saw an employee wearing a dark green Marine Corps dress jacket.
"Had rank on the side, couple rows or ribbons and a weapons badge," Bennett said.
In addition to being a veteran, Bennett comes from a military family and knows that the United States Code makes it illegal "to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal."
Bennett said he told the store manager and was then approached by a deputy and mall security, who told him he was banned from the store.
The story of Bennett's incident was posted on the Stolen Valor website, a site dedicated to making sure the American military uniform is honored. Bennett said he was trying to do just that when he got kicked out.
"It's disgraceful, men have worked hard trying to earn that uniform and have died wearing that uniform," Bennett said
