Kenneth Lee Worley - Medal of Honor

Kenneth Lee Worley is causing a stir these days. The young US Marine gave his life in Vietnam to protect his fellow soldiers. He did in fact receive the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions, but until now, he has been relatively unknown in America.

Few people knew anything about him. Even fewer even remembered him. That is changing. A number of people throughout the US are giving their time and resouurces to get the word out on Worley and will eventually have a bronze statue created in his honor.

American Valor has set aside several pages about the growing story on Kenneth Worley.
In time, the complete Kenneth Lee Worley will be known.

Liquidations are back in the news again, with this AP story tracing where alleged Ponzi schemer R. Allen Stanford's furniture ended up. AMC Liquidators of Fort Lauderdale, Florida has been selling his stuff off:

Michael Grimme is the owner of AMC. His business specializes in emptying hotels, offices and stores of unwanted furnishings and then reselling them. Business is up in recent years due to bankruptcies and downsizing. AMC is among many companies that have flourished during the downturn because even the wealthy have fallen on hard times. Repossessors take back yachts, planes and luxury cars, and even pawn shops have seen a rise in rich folks selling items.
