Men who lied about military service must wear signs that say "I am a liar" for eight hours on Memorial Day and Veterans Day to be eligible for parole.
GREAT FALLS, Mont. - Cascade County District Judge Greg Pinski came down hard Friday on two men who falsely claimed to the court that they’d served in the military.
Pinski already had slapped Morris with a contempt of court charge and community service when his lies about military service were first discovered back in 2016. Morris claimed Friday he completed only 10 of the 400-plus hours he was assigned because he couldn't do that much community service and hold down a job.

Now he's accused of tricking man out of RV park Morris was assigned to report to the Vet Court coordinator but was accused the following day of violating bail conditions by carrying a firearm and consuming alcohol.The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 prohibits falsely holding oneself out to be a recipient of certain military decorations with intent to obtain money, property or other tangible benefit.
In addition, Pinski mandated that every year during the suspended portions of each of their sentences, both men must stand at the Montana Veterans Memorial for eight hours on each Memorial and Veterans Day wearing a placard that reads, “I am a liar. I am not a veteran. I stole valor. I have dishonored all veterans.”
“While acts of stolen valor are very, very important,” Frisbie said, “they are not the basis of this revocation.”
