+1 I thought I didn't get a credential on my degree, but it turned out I did. I didn't know for years, until the school alum directory included me as having that credential. With big bureaucratic entities, it's very normal that people have a different understanding of what actually is in "the system." It isn't like Wes Moore has a pattern of lying about absolutely everything. Give him a bit of grace.

Why do you feel the need to verify these things like this? What a bizarre mindset.

How is he amazing?
I just don’t get this Wes Moore thing. Hardly any political experience, caught lying several times, nothing to show for his governorship. Why is he seen as this great thing? There were plenty of other worthy Dems.

That doesn't sound believable. People don't accidentally put a military bronze star on their resume. It either indicates that he is dishonest and lied to get a Whitehouse fellowship or he is incredibly stupid and believed he had a bronze star when he did not. Either one is disqualifying for someone that is governor of a state he should resign.
He was told it was approved. Clearly you never worked for the giver.
I got a pin once 5 years after I earned it
You sound fully successful.

If you think the Bronze Star is a “trinket” you should sign up and try to go earn one.
He knew his statement was false when made. He truthfully could have said “recommended” or “nominated,” but he chose not to.
It was approved but not processed.
