Fondulac- A 60-year North Fond du Lac man was ordered to do 30 hours of community service and serve one year of probation for wearing military medals he didn't earn. William James Richardson was sentenced in federal court in Milwaukee last week after being found guilty of wearing military medals of valor not issued to him by Congress. He wore the medals while serving on the Fond du Lac American Legion's firing squad. The medals he wore included the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest military decoration given by the U.S. Army.
