Riddle 2/2/2022 (5 Trophies for the first one)

LONG RIDDLE:

A grandfather is telling his grandson war stories.

At the end of World War 1, I was awarded for my bravery after saving a group of my men, the grandfather says. You see, we were fighting in northern France and one of our enemies threw a grenade at us. I managed to pick it up and throw it away before it exploded. So right after the war ended, a General gave me a sword, engraved with the words Awarded for Bravery and Valor, A True Hero, World War 1.

The grandson thinks about the story for a minute and then says Grandpa, that story can't be true! How did the grandson know?
