12/21/2005 ==================== On 21 Dec. 2005 WRAL TV ch. 5 in Raleigh NC aired a news story on a most interesting homeless street bum. Christian Michelle Dickerson told reporter Scott Mason that he was a highly decorated Vietnam Vet, with 4 Purple Hearts and was a POW. I E-mailed WRAL that Dickerson was a phony and chided them for being so gullible. Mason responded that he had checked with Dickerson, and the reason Dickerson's record is not public is that he was in Special Operations, and his record is therefore classified. I informed Mason that this was a typical lie told by phonies. Mason promised to get more information and report back to me, but he didn't. Could you please inform WRAL that such phony stories are embarrassing to real veterans and should be screened for accuracy? Thanks NETWORK NOTE - COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER. See the more "sensitive" side of him. You won't want to miss this!!

Tribe salutes veterans By JEFF EDWARDS Staff Reporter A former Vietnam prisoner of war was given special recognition at a Veterans Day program Friday hosted by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. |
Dear Editors.
In reference to the article by Jeff Edwards, dated November 16th, titled Tribe Salutes Veterans.
No man named Kenneth Dixon was ever with any one of us,
the real surviving 661 POWs of the Vietnam War.
Nor is he known by the Department of Defense in
this regard. All 3,792 men missing or POWs are
listed on the DoD website at:
The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and the entire
community deserve an apology from Mr. Dixon. As an aside, if a
man lies about having been a POW, then you can
bet that he is lying about a lot of other things as well. For
instance, he says he served in the Marine
Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force reserves and the Army
National Guard. Now, that's a mouthful. I'll bet it is a
mouthful of nonsense. If you would be so
kind as to provide me with his address, I will be glad to provide you
with his military service record as held by the National Records
Center in St. Louis.
Sincerely,
John M. McGrath
NAM-POWs Historian

Monday, March 30, 2009'The Nicoli Conspiracy': To What Lengths Will a Mother Go in Order to Get Back the Child She Lost?
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., March 30, 2009 /PRNewswire
via COMTEX/ ----In W.D. Dodge's new book, "The Nicoli
Conspiracy" (published by AuthorHouse),
a mother's love for her lost child is put to the test as she surrenders all self-respect by entering a world most only read about.
About the Author: W.
D. Dodge is a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. He was
captured by the North Vietnamese and held prisoner. He escaped and made it back home, becoming a certified teacher in California holding three credentials. He has been an actor and director on stage and screen.... AuthorHouse is the premier book publisher for emerging, self-published authors. For more information, please visit www.authorhouse.com.

I, W.D.Dodge, also known as Walt Dodge, fully and regretfully
apologize for
the statement in my biography referring to my status as an
ex-POW from Viet
Nam. I am a Viet Nam veteran and mistakenly took the advise of
a manager
who convinced me to use this phrasing. I am ultimately
responsible for my
own actions and apologize for any slighting my comments may have
caused the
true valiant heroes who bore the country's burden during that
horrible
conflict. My comments have been withdrawn and will never
appear again.
================================================================== 09/2010 Walt Dodge is now
scamming people as a timeshare salesman in Oceanside, California.
11/2011 His story is one that seems hard to believe, and encompasses what seems to be very tall tails. Claims a Russian advisor helping him, because of the treatment he was receiving after capture by the Cambodians. His assignment to take out a colonial in Cambodia. His escape and help in recovery from the Hmong. His receiving three medals, silver star, distinguished service award, and a medal from Korea the same as the metal of honor. Dodge ........states his file is top secret and there would be no record of any of what he has said. He sent a picture of his medals, which can be bought on line. |
NEVER A POW
Actual Records ===========================
Dear Authorhouse:
The Nicole Conspiracy story has a nice heart-rendering
twist, but I am
skeptical of its veracity.
I am especially skeptical because of the blatent lies
of the author, W.D. Dodge as expressed in his
biography. No man named W.D. Dodge was
ever with any one of us, the real 661 POWs who survived the Vietnam
War, nor is he known by the Department of Defense in this regard.
The authentic list of all 3,797 MIAS/POWs of the
Vietnam war are a matter of public record at the following Department
of Defense web site. Mr. Dodge is not listed:
How can one believe a book written by an author who
lies about his own background?

No man named Walt Dodge was ever with any one of
us, the real 662 surviving POWs of the Vietnam War (Laos,
Cambodia, China and Vietnam) nor is he known by the
Department of Defense in this regard. If he claims he was a
captive, he is a wannabe POW. The official Department of
Defense list of all 3,877 MIAs (to include all POWs, all CIA,
all secret ops, etc.) is located on the DoD official web site
at:
Mr. Dodge is not listed. He was not on a secret
mission (still classified). He is blowing smoke. Tell him to
get lost. He is a wannabe.
The records ...show his real awards and
decorations as well as his assignments. You will be able to
prove his is lying about a lot of things. Don't believe his
righteous indignation, feigned anger, denials, claims (commonly
called BS), etc. The guys is a wannbe and a liar. He owes all
to whom he spoke an apology.
