04/2003 - There is a person teaching ROTC at Ft. Wingate, NM his name is Roman Tajerson or Tajerson not sure which is right. Claims POW....
2003 - Wingate High Title One & Special Projects Staff: Chief Roman Taijeron - JROTC Senior Instructor
Using Google I found URL's for him that led me to a 1st Cav Ranger site that listed him in the synopses of a couple of links to photo's but I couldn't get them to load for me to check them out.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is listed in one synopses as a PFC, I can ask around but to the best of my knowledge SF didn't have any PFC's in a line unit in Vietnam. The only way I can think we'd have a PFC in SF in Vietnam unless he was a total numb nuts and/or got busted for something that got him reduced to PFC. No disrespect to any PFC's out there, I was one once, but the training required to complete before becoming SF qualified is as follows: Basic, a MOS producing school, Basic Airborne Course, and then to SF training, all of this takes between 10 and 12 months to complete. With the exception of the SF medic's MOS course which was 50 weeks long by it self. Using myself as an example I entered the Army in September of 67, went straight thru and finished SF training in September of 68 as SF qualified, I made SP-4 during that year.
Claiming SPECIAL FORCES and "GREEN BERET"... POW and Ranger
|
I am sad to report that this
man, was and from what has been relayed to me: still a
womanizer of the worst sort. He stated that he was a retired
CW3 for a SF unit.
Last I saw him was at a Edison
High School (Stockton, CA)- as a Senior Military Instructor
for the Army JROTC program. He was duly relived of position
due to multiple complaints of sexual harassment to female
students, staff and parents.
This piece of trash was made a
teacher of the young of our nation. He was placed on admin
leave by the 3rd Gold Strike Brigade ROTC Command. He wowed
the students, staff and parents with stories of yester
years. Bronze Star, Arcom's POW Medal plus other awards. He
was also tabbed out.
He claimed that he was captured
by Vietnamese Forces and was the only prisoner. He stated
that he escaped back to US forces days later.
I do know that Stockton Unified
School District did not take him back after his
investigation. He claimed that another school district had
given him a job and that Cadet Command at Ft. Lewis, WA had
"Forgotten Him".
Stated he was from Guam and was a living in the Sacramento ,CA area. |

Ran his name thru the west point register of graduates. there is NO rpt NO Jess Tatum at all; and NO rpt NO Tatum who graduated 62-64 timeframe. No Tatum, in fact, who graduated in the 1960s at all.
AND I just ran the Ia Drang roster of all the companies of 1/7 Cav, 2/7 Cav, A/1/5 Cav, and the companies of 229th and 227th Helicopter Btns. There is NOT a single Tatum, officer or enlisted, in any of the companies. These rosters are drawn from the November 1, 1965, Company Rosters as corrected by use of Company Daily Reports from Nov. 1 thru Nov. 20, 1965. They are certified by the former company commanders and their former clerks.
Your guy is a fraud from Alpha to Zulu.

RE: POW status of, Retired Gunnery Sergeant
Arthur R. Taylor, .... USMC. (made Gunny on January 1, 1976 with
precedence number 744) At which time you reported back that
(according to his records) he wasn't a POW at the Hanoi Hilton as
claimed. Naturally, and for obvious reasons you were quite upset
by the exaggerated lie concerning this particular camp and wished to
pursue it further....
quote
As for Art's story, it's vague and incomplete. He fains loss of memory,
or that it was too hard to talk about or that he wasn't allowed to talk
about it. And, "the reason 'we' couldn't find the facts about
him was because it was still considered top secret and classified
information."
The one part of 'his story' that he was very clear on however, is how a guard would enter his cell every morning and demand he say, "I hate the US". Art would bravely refuse, and for it, he take a strike in the jaw with the butt of the guards rifle. This torture happened everyday.
2007 - Has been known to wear 4 Purple Hearts, one Bronze Star W/V and Gold parachutists wings among other medals. not noted on his DD214. Previously confronted on medals wear and POW claims.2007 - denies ever having made POW claims. Refused to write a true apology on medals wear when confronted. Provided no evidence of authorization.
2010 - Reportedly scammed at least ten Veterans in this area out of as much as $10,000 prior to leaving for Texas. When he left, the charter certificate from walls of the “John C. Carr” Veteran’s Resource Center was missing. Still claiming to have been a prisoner of war and to have “earned’ three or four purple hearts.
Reported to FBI.
DID serve from Aug 1964 to Sept 1984. Discharged an E6. PMOS was 0369.
Is Nowitzki's ex reformed, or is this just a con?

Mary is giving you the straight word...Tessier was never one of
us...the real 661 military POWs to survive. Not even for a day.
We do NOT have a listing for anyone named Thomas Tessier. He's a complete FAKE - a thief of honor - and a disgrace to all valid American veterans! As for his claim of being a POW... please contact Chuck and Mary Schantag at info@pownetwork.org. They run a site which specializes in dealing with phony POWs. I checked a list of all surviving POWs from the Vietnam War and he is NOT on the list. Write about him to Mary Schantag, then throw that lying turd out of your life!

As with the Navy Seals, he claimed being apart of covert amphibious operations where one of his missions was to save and rescue a downed Huey Pilot, his own cousin, US ARMY SP5 Earl M. Mattews of Orange Mass., Matthews, he claimed, was barely alive, and this is where William Towne was shot, stabbed, Matthews killed, and Towne taken as Prisoner of War. Towne then recited this story to many of people and described in great detail of being confined to bamboo tiger cages..."Too small to lay down, too short to stand up. You would go days without food and water until they felt like giving you rice".

....Yes I did two tours in 'Nam and I was captured along with three other rangers, we did manage to escape, and yes I've been 100% for all this time....
.....You've probably heard this before but the other three rangers where killed in action later on, sorry nobody left. My DD214, has nothing on it that says anything about the incident,as a matter of fact it says that I was wounded in 1911,go figure, also it doesn't have any medals or awards on it.We've tried for years to clear up my 214 but to no avail, everyones gone. there are no records at company level, becaus I was stationed with Viet. rangers. which really didn't keep perfect records, and reported to Macv Tm. 21. I did two tours over there,68-69, 70-71. I don't know if you knew that the other guy's(dave johnstone, Mike T) and I went back into the service at the end of 70, but we did.I think that when they promoted me to E5 before I went to nam my first time they promoted me into another MOS. My original MOS was 05B10 (radio operater) but when they promoted me they put me in another MOS because it was the only spot availlable which was 03B20 I think that's it which is entertainment specialist. We believe that it's the reason why I didn't recieve any thing(bronze star, ect.) everyone else got them and we all did the same job. the guy who promoted me screwed up, he should have kept my original MOS.....
He was in Nam as a radio operator.
Then Ft Carson Colorado as an Entertainment Spec.
NO Purple Heart. No medals of valor. NO POW medal. ONLY service medals.
And records indicate only time in Nam was (all of) 1968
Served 64-69 - then reserves till 71.
