03/2008 - Claims to have known John McCain very well while confined. Claims to have been wounded when shot down and had both legs broken and not set right by the NV. Also claims he was in Army and after coming home from Hanoi, joined the Air Force and retired. Also claims he flew aircraft to and from S. America doing drug buys for government "Agencies". He works for L-3 Communications on government military contracts. He holds a security clearance and has access to classified information. Still in Arlington Texas.
Can't remember the name of the ship he served on, but he claims he flew on a helicopter into VN as a flight crew member, and upon landing, he shot a VC in the woods! Claims to have been a helicopter mechanic.
He states his DD214 is incorrect and he can't get it corrected because his records were lost in the fire.
Claims 2 tours in VN, once he was in the hospital - has never said why.
Also states he was in the ARMY or National Guard as a SSGT.
States that he was a POW!
At one point, stated he couldn't join the VFW because his DD214 was not correct; but now says he belonged to the VFW in New York, but resigned because they weren't doing things right!
He is now a member of the American Legion. He constantly tells the other members "war stores" about himself in VN; wears military clothing, POW bracelet and has told numerous friends that he is retired Military - he in fact is retired from Civil Service!
He constantly reads any true military stories, books, etc. and buys videos about VN.
Told a deputy sheriff that he was a Federal Marshall in New York!
Also stated that his first wife and two children were killed in a car wreck while he was in the hospital during his second tour of Nam. Reports state his REAL wife, JoAnn, says that he left his first wife and kids and never paid child support or expressed any interest in seeing them, even after they were grown and of age.

Secretary of State has suspended his company's corporation. Meets with local politicians in support of democratic fundraising and continues to introduce himself as a POW. Claims Lt. Col. USAF
When eating one day, tears started running down his cheek. He stated, "Because of all the things the Vietnamese did to me I can't control my eyes from tearing when I eat."
Another time: "I was a POW for 7 years. I was in the CIA in 'Secret Operations'".
Later: "I was a POW for two years."
And then: "you don't understand, I was a POW for 2 years with the Air Force, then they discharged me to the CIA as I was a CIA operative. I did the other 5 years as a POW with the CIA."

POW shot down in either 67 or 68, claims 4 and one half
years captivity at Hanoi Hilton. Claims Amy service, Navy service
then Marine Corp. Pilot flying off aircraft carrier. Claims to have
known Senator McCain and was shot down about the same time he was.
This is not a student's embellishment. The poor kid wrote was he was told. Price should be run out of town.
This is a good chance tho for the teacher to now go back and expound on journalism ethics.... TWO sources. Had they check JUST the internet for names, they could have stopped this before it went this far. HOMEWORK. They have to do the HOMEWORK.
Otherwise they grow up to be writers that make statements like this:
Unfortunately, doing research on a veteran's past history is outside the scope and capability of any newspaper reporter..P.O.W. NETWORK

.... have contacted the editor of the paper on several occasions, trying to get the paper to investigate the story. As you have said, it is obviously false. The editor (Ruth Herrink) said she turned the investigation to the teacher (Mark Fike) who gave the assignment, but I haven't seen or heard of anything being done. What do you think the next step should be that would help to resolve this problem? Let me know what you think. The link to the original story is above.

Innocent victims of War
Category: Life
I help fundraising efforts for the American Vetrans-the Amvets. I sit next to a man named Steve Q. A big guy six foot two inches and 240 pounds. Nice man to talk to. I over heard a conversation, it goes something to the effect of:
"Yeah I joined the 3rd division Marine Recon div, called the Red Bull." I went to Viet Nam in Febuary 1964. I was captured and held in a prisoner of war camp by the V.C. for 2 years 9 months and 13 days. I escaped with 4 other G.I.'s and we ran as fast as we could. I fell into a 60 foot ditch and a large tree limb stuck through my body. I had compound fractures in one arm."
"I woke up to young viet girl caring for me with men around-U.S. officals."
"Went home, years later my wife took kids out and a drunk driver hit them a killed everyone. Man I was down so low, I can't even begin to describe it."
"Years later it was time for me to get right with God, so I went back to church. I went to church,one day and this Viet lady looked at the scar on my arm and rubbed it. Me,Riu Thi. Me same same I you (meaning I know your eyes) You G.I.?" "yes," said Steve. She said, "Me baby you have no food.I baby you.I love Steve!"
So the story goes she never forgot him and knew one day she would see him again. Steve moved on since his families untimely death.
As of today Steve Q and Riu Thi have been married for two years....Who says there is no God.
Steve Q. granted Joseph permission to write his story on Oct. 23, 2007
