Stolen Valor controversy gets worse for Tim Walz. Tim Walz Special Forces Hat Worn At New Jersey Springsteen Concert and elsewhere is Upsetting Veterans. Many such cases. (www.shorenewsnetwork.com)

RUTHERFORD, NJ – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has been under fire this week for claims of stolen valor has been accused of more stolen valor after a photo published by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is raising eyebrows in the veterans community.

Walz was a guest of Governor Murphy at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford to see a Bruce Springsteen Concert. Beto O’Rourke, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Walz were also in attendance.

Walz, who had claimed he carried a ‘weapon of war’ during ‘war’ has been criticized of embellishing his military service record. He never served in a combat zone. He served in an artillery unit of the Minnesota National Guard, but he was deployed for a short time to Italy during the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the photo posted by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Walz is wearing a hat bearing the U.S. Army Special Forces crest. Walz was never a member of the Special Forces. To the outside, wearing a hat in support of such a prestigious organization could be seen as a kind gesture, within military veteran circles, it is frowned upon. . . More photos show that Walz routinely wears the Special Forces crescent. . .
