While Jay Gatsby's background is shrouded in mystery, he claims to be a war hero. He frequently mentions his experiences in World War I and displays a medal of honor from Montenegro as proof.
Gatsby states he was promoted to major and cited for valor for his heroic actions during the war. Nick Carraway initially doubts Gatsby's story, finding him somewhat theatrical and unbelievable.
However, Nick later witnesses evidence, including a photograph, that supports Gatsby's claims of military service. While the extent of his heroism might be exaggerated, it appears Gatsby did indeed serve in World War I and receive some form of recognition. The truth, as with many things surrounding Gatsby, likely lies somewhere between fact and embellished fiction, adding to the enigma of his character. The validity and implications of his war experience are left somewhat ambiguous, contributing to the overall mystique.
