THOSE CLAIMING MEDAL OF HONOR
NOTE: In 1996 HLI Lordship
Industries (at the time, the OFFICIAL USG contractor for the Medal of
Honor) admitted selling THREE HUNDRED unauthorized medals for $75.00
each from 1991-1994. They were fined $80,000. NOT ALL of those medals
have been recovered. Offenders in possession of an
unauthorized medal can be arrested, fined (up to $10,000) and jailed
(up to a year). It is the only military medal that CANNOT be bought,
sold, bartered, traded, collected, auctioned, exchanged.... EVERY
Medal of Honor is awarded by act of Congress. Less than 150 REAL Medal
of Honor recipients are alive today.

First, FYI, the spelling of Navy SEAL. SEAL is derived from the words SEa,
Air, and Land =SEAL. All Capital letters. I know, your spill checker does
not include that word. No sweat!
Secondly is man is a SEAL "wannabe." The SEAL database does not
list this man as having completed training and earning the Naval Enlisted
Code of SEAL. you may want to request his military records available under
the : Freedom of information act
http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/05/fbi_on_the_look.html
It would an honorable thing to do is to post a correction to your article
on Mr. Payne, deceased Navy Veteran, may he Rest in Peace, and my
sincerest gratitude for serving our country.
The V.A. has mistakeaNly issued headstones with the inscription Navy SEAL
on it, don't let this man live a lie and be dead still lying to our fellow
honorable Veterans who earned to right to be called Navy SEALs.
Thank you Very Much,
HooYah!

Lt. Paul J. |
05/2008 |

By Mark D. Faram - Staff writer, NAVY TIMES
Posted : Friday May 9, 2008 11:45:51 EDT
A Navy Reserve public affairs officer is facing a general
court-martial next week for allegedly forging an award citation and
pretending to be a lieutenant when he was one rank lower at the time,
the Navy said.
Lt. Paul J. Pelletier, 42, is charged with five counts of violating
the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including failure to obey an
order or regulation, making false official statements and going absent
without leave. His court-martial is set to begin May 13. Calls to
Pelletier's cell phone were not answered as of Thursday afternoon.
According to the charge sheet, Pelletier put himself in for a Joint
Service Achievement Medal at some point between June 20 and July 20,
2006, while serving with Multi-National Force in Baghdad. He served at
Camp Victory in Iraq for nine months in 2006.
The award justification "outlined achievements he had not
accomplished," the sheet said.
Around the same time, he wore the rank of lieutenant when he was
actually a lieutenant junior grade, the sheet said. He continued to
wear the unauthorized rank, the charge sheet stated, even though he
had been ordered by a captain to stop. At the time, he was still a
year away from being eligible for that rank, according to Navy
records.
Specifically, he allegedly told his commander he was commissioned in
November 2001 - it was really November 2003 - and made lieutenant
junior grade in November 2003. He actually made O-2 in November 2005
and was selected for promotion in June 2007. Pelletier was authorized
to put that rank on in December.
Pelletier later racked up a few more charges while serving at the
Naval Air Facility at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., last fall.
He is charged with being absent without leave for a day around the
beginning of August.
A few months later, in the first week of November, he is accused of
attempting to impede an investigation by "removing two pieces of
documentary evidence from the preliminary inquiry officer's
investigation report."
Also in November, he allegedly had a firearm and ammunition in his
barracks room at Andrews. Doing so violates standing orders and is
also illegal under the U.S. Code.
His Article 32 hearing was held Dec. 15 and he was arraigned March 10.

I greatly
appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL
Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I
must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the
US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to
expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in
honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our
nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL”
but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor,
their reputations, and their TEAMs.
If
the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT
find a listing in the SEAL Database (end of WWII to the Present Day) for
anyone named EDWARD
ANTHONY PEREZ.
I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with
similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.
There are only six (6) men listed in the SEAL Database with the last
name PEREZ; examination of their first/middle names and presumed ages
(derived by calculations involving their training graduation dates) make
it absolutely clear that none of them are the man your Mother knows.
Unless
he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action
for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation)
since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the
information you have provided, I can
state conclusively that EDWARD ANTHONY PEREZ has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL
training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy UDT
“Frogman”. ....

April
09, 2009
Ever since the Nov. 4, 2008 election,
residents of Guilford County have wondered
what happened to mystery man Kirk Perkins, who
ran in and won the five-man race for Guilford
County soil and water conservation district
supervisor. Though Perkins – whose real name
may be Kirk Newell – didn't do any
campaigning, return calls to reporters or even
give a real name to the Guilford County Board
of Elections, the transient with a history of
mental issues won the race – apparently
because he filed under the name "Kirk
Perkins," which is also the name of
Commissioner Kirk Perkins, who, at that time,
was the chairman of the Board of
Commissioners.
Perkins/Newell didn't show up for the swearing
in ceremony; his cell phone number suddenly
stopped working; and he seemingly fell off the
face of the earth. Many people had a lot of
questions for him: everyone from former
landlords, who say they got shafted on the
rent, to election officials – not to mention
high-ranking soil and water conservation
officials.
Finally, after five months, the mystery is
solved: Perkins/Newell is residing at 92 W.
Skyline Dr. in Blanchard, Idaho – on a very
out-of-the-way ranch in northern Idaho where
he rents a bunkhouse. Perkins has no car, no
phone and is living on about $700 a month that
he gets in government disability payments.
Perkins/Newell became the center of attention
soon after winning the race last fall and, two
months later, the election officials wanted to
question him regarding felony election fraud
and other possible charges.
Perkins evidently decided the heat was too
high to stay in North Carolina, and he moved
to Washington state, where he laid low in the
town of Elk. He lived there until about two
weeks ago, when he began renting a bunkhouse
at Covenant Ranch owned by Bill Oliver and his
wife.
Oliver, a pastor, said that, soon after he met
the mystery man – who needed a place to stay
– he felt Perkins/Newell might have some
mental issues, and he also said the stranger's
stories didn't add up. Oliver said his wife
shared his suspicions.
"We knew there was something wrong with
this man," Oliver said.
Oliver said, for instance, that Perkins/Newell
– who's still going by the name Kirk Perkins
– told the two that he was ex-military.
Oliver said his wife has worked extensively
with military personnel and said she invited
two military officers to come to the ranch.
They met with Newell/Perkins for about four
hours, and they didn't buy his story either.
"They said, 'We
don't believe this guy has ever been in the
military,'" Oliver said.
According to
Oliver, when he confronted Perkins/Newell
about his claims of military service,
Perkins/Newell had a highly questionable
explanation.
"He said that he was in covert ops,"
Oliver said.
According to Oliver, Perkins/Newell said his
military service was so covert that records of
his activities and time in the military were
kept under wraps at the Pentagon......

Investigators
collected blood evidence and carpet samples from the home of a missing
Missouri mother, who was in the process of getting a divorce when she
disappeared Jan. 2, according to a court affidavit released Friday.
Police found disposable latex gloves
in a coat pocket and pants pockets with various stains on them when they
searched the home of Renee Pernice Jan. 8, MyFOXKC.com reported.
They also discovered a reddish stain
on the ceiling and a spot in the garage that tests showed was human
blood, the station reported.
Renee Pernice's husband Shon Pernice
has made inconsistent statements about when he last saw her, according
to court documents.
Shon Pernice told his wife's
relatives that he last saw her on New Year's Day, according to the
affidavit, but told detectives several days later that he last saw her
on Jan. 2.
The affidavit for a search warrant
says Shon Pernice, an Independence firefighter, used an electronic
keycard to enter the back door of the Independence hazmat station —
where solvents and other cleaning materials are stored — at 4:26 a.m.
Jan. 3, even though he was not assigned to that station.
Renee Pernice, a 35-year-old nursing
instructor, has two sons and a stepdaughter and is not the kind of
person who would separate herself from her children for any reason,
family members have told police. Investigators believe she is a victim
of foul play.
On Jan. 6, detectives saw Shon
Pernice drive the family minivan to a park more than a mile away from
his home, drop his wife's dog off and drive away. Detectives picked up
the dog after Pernice did not return.
Shon Pernice's attorney, Kevin
Baldwin, said he has instructed Pernice not to comment or allow police
to interview him because Pernice believes he is being blamed for his
wife's disappearance.
Police found Renee Pernice's cell
phone on Jan. 3 in the northeast area of Kansas City, and on Monday
dozens of volunteers searched a wooded area near the Pernice home.
According
to a returned search warrant, investigators found a fake Navy Seal
identification card with Shon Pernice's name and photograph when they
searched the family's home, which Renee Pernice bought before she
married Shon.
Investigators also removed from the
home satellite equipment, an external thumb drive, a nursing notebook, a
pineapple-style grenade with a hollowed-out bottom and a spent fuse.
Police said Shon Pernice, who is a
member of the National Guard and has served with the Army in Iraq, was
scheduled to leave for a three-week military session and then was
planning to move out of the home.
Investigators interviewed the mother
of Shon Pernice's daughter, who visited with her dad on Jan. 2. The
woman told police that her daughter sent an e-mail around 9:30 p.m.
telling her that she was ready to come home and was worried because
Renee Pernice was not there.
The woman said she noticed the
family van parked outside the home when she picked up her daughter from
the Pernice home the next morning, the affidavit said. She said that was
unusual because the van was always parked in the garage, police said.
Renee Pernice is described as white,
5 feet 9 inches tall and slender, with blue eyes and shoulder-length
brown hair. |

....Mr.
SHON PERNICE is not now
and never was a US Navy SEAL.
If
the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT
find a listing in the SEAL Database (end of WWII to the Present Day)
for anyone named SHON
PERNICE.
I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with
similar pronunciations without finding any that might be applicable.
Unless
he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an
action for which there would be evidence in the form of court
documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and
based upon the information you have provided, I
can state conclusively that SHON PERNICE has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL
training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy UDT
“Frogman”. In fact there are no listings in the SEAL
Database for anyone with the last name “PERNICE”.
When
members of the Naval Special Warfare community meet others who claim
similar service, but whom they do not recognize, there is a
conversational exchange of information that establishes the bona fides
of each to the other. There is no set formula for this exchange, nor
for the information that is exchanged, but it ALWAYS takes place, and
the REAL Naval Special Warfare members can ALWAYS spot a phony as a
result of this exchange. If you have an opportunity to speak with
authorities involved in the questioning of the man at some point in
the future, I might suggest that they ask Mr. PERNICE
these questions:
(1) Since
there is no listing in the SEAL Database for the name you are
currently using, WHAT NAME DID YOU
USE during SEAL training?
(2) What
was his BUD/S Class Number?
(NB: No SEAL ever forgets the class number he shouted all day long,
every day, for 6 months)
(3) Where
did his training take place? (NB: Training has been conducted at
several locations over the years; different portions in different
places)
(4) When
did he graduate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S)
training? (i.e. a specific graduation DATE)
There
are many other questions which could be asked to further establish the
level of veracity or untruth regarding his claims, such as asking for
the names of other members of his graduating class, but those basic
questions are absolutes. The
answers to those questions are totally UNCLASSIFIED, and every real
SEAL will gladly provide that substantiating information upon request,
although you will be very likely be told that the information is
either classified or sensitive and cannot be provided, or you will be
given some totally bogus information.
I might
suggest that you also ask Mr. PERNICE
to specifically identify WHICH SEAL Team(s) he served on,
and when. I am in direct contact with several hundred of my SEAL
Teammates whose collective experience covers virtually all time
periods from the Korean War to the present; I can quickly contact
those individuals to verify any specific names, events, or other
claims offered by Mr. PERNICE.
If he feels that his name has somehow been mistakenly omitted from the
SEAL records, I’d be pleased to speak with him and hear details of
his service which would serve to validate his claims. The Director of
the Naval Special Warfare Archives – a close personal friend and
SEAL Teammate – is only a phone call away and standing by to amend
the records if this is ever found to be true. However, I estimate that
I’ve made the same offer to more than 5,000 SEAL imposters in the
last eight years, and none of them ever turned out to be a valid SEAL.
No
one gets to the SEAL Teams without first completing BUD/S Training.
There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of
“SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions,
but there are NO secret SEALs… we know them all.
To
obtain a formal/official statement on the Mr. PERNICE’s
lack of SEAL credentials from an official Navy source, those
authorities who are involved in questioning him directly (or through
his attorney) should contact the Naval Special Warfare Command
(Coronado, California) Public Affairs Office by telephone at (619)
522-2823.

Former VFW post leader sentenced for pension fraud
By Kevin
Graham, Times Staff Writer
In print: Friday, June 13, 2008
TAMPA The former commander of a local Veterans of Foreign Wars post
was sentenced Thursday to 41 months in federal prison for military
pension fraud.
Frank M. Persicano, 63, of St. Petersburg pleaded guilty in January to
mail fraud, theft and providing false statements to the Department of
Veteran Affairs. Prosecutors said he lied about his income and
fraudulently obtained about $72,225 from the VA Preferred Pension
Program, which provides benefits to destitute veterans.
"This is despicable," Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth
Kovachevich said during sentencing. She ordered Persicano to pay
restitution in the amount of money he received.
He has been in custody since his arrest on the charges in November.
Persicano is a former commander of VFW Post 6827 in St. Petersburg. In
2003, he received a Silver Star the nation's third-highest award for
gallantry to honor his heroism in Vietnam.
In 1967, Persicano served as a sergeant assigned to the 25th Light
Infantry. He helped two soldiers in his squad move to safety after they
were wounded by North Vietnamese army small arms fire.
But no one in court Thursday mentioned the good he'd done. Instead,
Kovachevich talked about Persicano's extensive criminal record and how
he once falsely reported that he received a Purple Heart and Bronze
Star.
"Everything I see in here could be associated with the word
'fraud,' " Kovachevich said of Persicano's past.
Prosecutors said that from May 2004 until about September 2007,
Persicano failed to report income he received while working as a car
salesman in St. Petersburg. He placed zeroes on VA forms that inquired
about any gross wages from an employer, according to court documents.
"You deserve more time in prison," Kovachevich told Persicano,
noting that prosecutors could have requested a harsher sentence than 41
months. "I'll tell you one thing. You do this again, and you can
forget about ever getting out."

A group of military
vets, including myself, have run across a man calling himself Dale
Peters that has woven a very tangled web on numerous miltary, and
political websites. The main site, called USMILNET, is where this mans
story can be seen.
Dale Peters at military.com.
says he's a Vietnam Vet of the Ranger Kill Team and was assigned to
3/506th. His name was Dale333 and he said that 333 would stand for the
kills he had in Vietnam. He always talks about his two sons who
were deployed to Iraq. Both as Pathfinders.
From his posts and profile.
He served with 3/506th Recon Rangers 68-69 was wounded and spent time at
Walter Reed and Ft. Meade until 71 or 72 when he was medically
discharged.
He repeatedly references having been with the 3/506th Recon 101st. There
is a thread including posts between him and the daughter of a VN
veteran, it's been seen by members of the 506th VN and described as pure
BS. Dale said he was from Hawaii, the LRRPs remember two volunteers from
Hawaii in 69, one was KIA the other is accounted for.
He's a member of Illinois Veterans for Progress and his name is
associated with the Illinois Veterans for Democracy.
His posts indicate he has three sons. One son murdered in 87. Two
sons serving with the 101st and deployed at the same time, they're both
Pathfinders. One joined ahead of the other, no dates for enlistment.
Patrick is an E-5 and recently was wounded by IED losing a leg. Either
one son was wounded (leg again) earlier, and wounded again or both have
had leg wounds by IED. Mike is supposedly in Iraq at this time.
The address given for Walter Reed is said to have been a non-existant
wing, contacts at Walter Reed were said to have no patient named Patrick
Peters from the 101st.
Dale has posted he's a Patriot Guards rider . He's also posted he was in
an accident with his bike and was in the hospital with a leg injury.

Dale
Peters served less than one yr. March 10 1969 to Feb 11 1970.
Was discharged a Private. Never left the states.
His ONLY award is the National Defense Medal.
A transcript of his court martial is "not in file".
His only training was "basic" and "wireman."
His duty assignments read "Fort Ord CA
for training, Fort George G Mead MD for training."

Hal Petersen was an experienced pilot and a much-loved friend to
many in the area.
Petersen honored by friends, family and fellow
flyers
August 14, 2008 - 12:03PM
TRI-COUNTY AIRPORT - A large number of friends and family gathered
Friday at Tri-County Airport in Holmes County to honor Hal Petersen.
The Bonifay pilot was killed July 31 in a wreck at St. Augustine
Airport, but Petersen’s memory clearly will live on as he was lauded
as a kind and gentle person and an excellent pilot.
Petersen, 52, was a passenger in a kit-built Velocity piloted by
Gene Powers, 51, who was looking to sell the aircraft to Petersen,
according to reports from various media. The aircraft crashed in a
marsh just east of the runway.
Airport Manager Gary Cushman was one of several to praise Petersen.
“In all the years I knew him, he never said a bad word about
anyone,” Cushman said. “He was just a gentle, kind soul.”
Petersen, who was on the airport board of directors, also was a
highly experienced pilot, flying helicopters in the Army and for
various agencies and organizations. He most recently was an AirMedic
pilot based in Jacksonville. Fellow AirMedic crewmembers were on hand
at the ceremony to honor one of the crew of Trauma 1. They presented a
plaque to Petersen’s family.
Petersen never talked much about his extensive military experience,
friends said, but information provided by the military gave evidence
of his courage. On March 7, 1984, Petersen’s aircraft was shot down
while operating with a special detachment out of Fort Campbell, Ky.
The location of the incident is still classified, according to Army
records.
Petersen joined the detachment and fought
on the ground, going around the perimeter encouraging his comrades and
distributing water and ammunition even though seriously wounded. Even
though exhausted, Petersen called in aircraft and helicopter gunships
for fire support, got the wounded to rescue aircraft and ensured that
classified material was recovered.
For his courageous action, Petersen was
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the nation’s highest air
medal, the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and the Army Commendation
Medal.
Pastor B.J. Fore was another, however, who commented on
Petersen’s gentle spirit.
“You didn’t have to be around him long before you realized he
loved the sky,” Fore said, “but he also had a heart as big as the
sky.”
Petersen stepped in to help the small local airport as well.
Airport Board member Jack Locke of Bonifay called Petersen “a man of
integrity” and praised him for his work at Tri-County, including
plunging into difficult administrative chores and furthering his
education to help with the work.
“He had a heart for this airport,” Locke said. “He worked
hard to get something for this community.”
Petersen’s family took his remains back to his native Minnesota,
but his many local friends will not forget him.
“He going to be sorely missed,” Cushman said. “He was a good
friend, and good friends are very hard to come by in this day and age.
He will always be a brother in my heart.

Fake Marine gets 20 years for raping airman
The Associated Press
Posted : Wednesday Feb 14, 2007 21:19:22 EST
A Fairbanks, Alaska, man who posed as a retired Marine colonel to lure a
female airman to a rural area, where he sexually assaulted her, will
spend up to 20 years in prison.
Edward Pezel, 42, was sentenced Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Robert
Downes, who also gave Pezel another 10 years of suspended time.
According to prosecutors, Pezel approached the 22-year-old woman at a
restaurant, identified himself as John Frankenbach and told her his wife
was dying. He gave the woman an e-mail address so they could keep in
touch and asked her for a ride home, prosecutors said.
In the woman’s vehicle, Pezel directed her to an area near Mile 315
Richardson Highway. He claimed to suddenly have stomach cramps and
crawled into the back seat.
When the woman stopped the vehicle and got out, Pezel pushed her into
the back seat. He threatened to kill her, removed her clothing and
assaulted her, prosecutors said.
“It has taken me a long time to look in the mirror and feel good about
myself,” the woman said in court Tuesday. And even though she said she
wanted Pezel to serve a long time behind bars, she forgave him.
“I just want to make sure that he will not be able to rape or hurt
anyone again,” she said.
Downes said he hopes the prison sentence serves as a deterrent to
others.
“I want the people in this jurisdiction to know if they are going to
commit rape, they are going to go to jail for 20, 40, 60 years,”
Downes said.
Pezel allegedly told the woman during the May 30, 2006, assault that she
would think about it every day.
“The words that you used to taunt this victim in this case will taunt
you,” Downes said. “You’ve horribly affected this young woman. I
need you to understand that.”

Vermonter
admits he was fake SEAL
February 23, 2006
The Associated Press |
|
CONCORD, N.H. — A 30-year-old man who passed
himself off as a decorated Navy SEAL officer has pleaded guilty to
wearing a military uniform and medals without authorization.
Matthew Phillips, 30, of Springfield, Vt., took part in a Bellows
Falls High School recruitment drive in Vermont and attended
Veterans Day ceremonies in Claremont as a Navy lieutenant with
decorations including the Navy Cross, the Navy's second-highest
honor, according to U.S. Attorney Thomas Colantuono.
Phillips, a former Concord resident, faces up to six years in
prison on each count when he is sentenced on May 22.

Serial
imposter facing charges
November 15, 2007
By ERIC
FRANCIS Herald Correspondent
|
|
SPRINGFIELD — A Londonderry
man who was convicted last year of impersonating a
Navy recruiter at a high school career day and
posing as a Navy SEAL during Veterans Day
ceremonies has now been charged with stopping at a
Springfield road construction site and pretending
to be an OSHA inspector.
Matthew Phillips, 32, pleaded innocent Tuesday to
two misdemeanor counts of impersonating a public
officer and was released on personal recognizance
conditions pending trial.
Springfield Police began investigating Phillips in
August shortly after a woman who had worked with
him when he was delivering pizzas late last year
spotted him near the construction site on Union
Street and yelled, "Hey, there's that guy
that pretends to be a Navy SEAL!"
Justine Johnson told police that Phillips, who was
wearing an orange reflective vest, shot back,
"Shut up! I work for OSHA. You might be
laughing now, but you'll be crying later."
Johnson became suspicious and began asking the
construction workers what Phillips was doing at
their site. She said they told her Phillips had
stopped by on several occasions because he was an
inspector for the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration who happened to live in the local
area. On hearing about Phillips' past, which
included a conviction in Concord, N.H., in
February 2006 for falsely impersonating a military
officer and wearing unearned medals and
decorations, construction officials contacted the
Springfield Police Department.
Site Engineer Jason Olmstead, 36, told police he'd
had "a number of dealings" with Phillips
after he stopped and gave workers a business card
that read in part "O.S.H.A. Certified – NH,
MA, VT, RI."
Springfield Police Officer Dean Fullerton wrote in
an affidavit that when he called the phone number
on the card, it was not operational and when he
spoke to officials at the Vermont Occupational
Safety and Health Administration they said,
"They had been dealing with these types of
complaints about Phillips for a while."
VOSHA employee John Barnard told police there are
only 10 OSHA-certified personnel in Vermont and
Phillips isn't one of them. Furthermore, he said
no one is certified with OSHA in more than one
state.
Olmstead told police that Phillips had at various
times ordered a construction flagger to put out
his cigarette because of "danger from gas
lines" and had told a bulldozer operator to
wear a hard hat because his cab wasn't enclosed.
"At the time, I though I should take him
seriously because I had seen him with an OSHA hard
hat and his statement was somewhat accurate at the
time, or I thought so," Project Manager
Jeffery Darling told police.
Chester Police also dealt on one occasion with
Phillips, "dressing up as an OSHA employee
and requesting to inspect the paving construction
of the driveway to the business Knockout Carpet in
Chester," according to the police report.
VOSHA's Barnard provided police with a written
statement about the incidents, which said in part,
"The suspect endangers himself, employees and
the public by entering job sites. Employers who do
not realize that the suspect has no jurisdiction
are at risk of taking wrong advice in the job site
and implementing it which could result in injury
or death."
Fullerton wrote that when he and another officer
confronted Phillips about the reports, "at
first, Phillips denied any type of
involvement."
"While talking with Phillips, he began to say
something to the effect that he has some mental
issues and that he needs to deal with them,"
Fullerton wrote, adding, "I did not get too
involved with that. I do know that Phillips had
gotten off of federal probation in May of this
year for a federal charge of impersonating a
military officer at a memorial service in New
Hampshire."
In addition to that incident at the Veterans Day
ceremony in Claremont in which Phillips was
wearing a Navy Cross — the service's second
highest decoration for valor — he was also
charged with wearing a Navy recruiter's uniform
complete with SEAL insignia and attending the
Career Day events at Bellows Falls Union High
School for two years running.
Phillips faces a maximum potential penalty of up
to one year in jail and fines up to $1,000 if he
should be convicted of the pending impersonation
charges

Originally published 07:36 p.m., May 8, 2009

SACRAMENTO-An officer with the California Exposition Center Police
Department was arrested today for allegedly lying to federal agents
and falsely claiming that he was awarded a Silver Star for gallantry
during Operation Desert Storm, prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's
Office announced.
Eric Gene Piotrowski, 41, of Elk Grove was arrested following an
investigation by the FBI with the cooperation of the California
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Rodriguez, who is prosecuting
the case, said that Piotrowski is charged with claiming that he was
awarded a Silver Star for “gallantry in action during combat
operations against hostile forces” in Operation Desert Storm.
Specifically, she said, he falsely claimed that in 1991 during an
Iraqi counter-attack in Operation Desert Storm he exposed himself to
enemy fire while helping to cover and anti-tank team that was trying
to destroy an Iraqi tank.
The criminal complaint alleges that Piotrowski did not see
military action in Operation Desert Storm, and that he purchased the
Silver Star citation and medal through the Internet.
Rodriguez also said that Piotrowski, using false pretenses, was
formally recognized two years ago for being awarded the Silver Star
by the Undersecretary for the state Department of Veterans Affairs.
=============================================
From
a CalVet Board communication:
·
Stolen Valor Case Prosecuted – The US
Attorney today arrested a Cal Expo Police Officer on misdemeanor and
felony charges of falsely claiming to have been awarded a Silver
Star military decoration for service in the Persian Gulf War back in
1991. In a release issued today the U.S Attorney’s Office
said they arrested an Elk Grove man named Eric Piotrowski after
“an extensive investigation by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, with the cooperation of the California Department of
Veterans Affairs.” The California Department of Veterans
Affairs was contacted by Channel 3 and 13 and the Sacramento Bee
about the case, asking how veterans feel about cases like this one.
They were told by Deputy Secretary J.P. Tremblay that these
kinds of cases are insulting to the men and women who did serve
honorably in the military and were awarded citations for bravery
under fire. The were told about a law the Governor signed last
year that makes it a crime here in California to falsely claim to
have been awarded a decoration they didn’t earn. The case
came to light after the CDVA participated in a presentation of the
medal to Piotrowski at the family home in 2007. It was brought
to the attention of the Department and the FBI that Piotrowski
allegedly falsified his record and an investigation was initiated.

Polk's Real
World War II Record
The fictional career
of a famous newsman.
by
Richard B. Frank
The dedicated
website of the George Polk Awards trumpets that
the prize is "one of America's most coveted
journalism honors-and probably its most
respected." Bill Moyers and Russell Baker, among
others, testify that the award means more to them than
any other. The list of those cited since the award's
inception in 1949 comprises a two-generation roll call
of distinguished names in American journalism:
....... Plainly
stated: The documentary record shows that Polk's claim
of being a naval aviator and his version of his
service at Guadalcanal as a fighter and dive bomber
pilot were gigantic lies....

Maybe the Top Journalistic Deceit of All
Ross Mackenzie
Thursday, July 10, 2008
On Sunday, May 16, 1948, a Greek boatman found a body floating in
Salonika Bay about 150 yards offshore. The body was bound hand and
foot with 30 feet of coarse hemp rope. At the base of the skull was a
hole from a high-velocity bullet.
The body was identified as that of George Polk, Middle East reporter
for CBS. Ornery, a troublemaker, and a blond Errol Flynn look-alike,
Polk would become martyred in death as a journalistic icon.
His murder created a sensation. He had been trying to meet with
Communist guerrillas battling the Greek government. Debate roiled over
whether principally the guerrillas or the regime killed him. Salonika
trials reached verdicts, and blue-ribbon U.S. monitoring committees
issued findings and reports. Yet the truth of the Polk case remains
elusive, and periodically books appear hashing it over yet again.
Polk was elevated to the heights as the first journalistic victim of
the Cold War. A year later an award was established in his name
perhaps journalism's most coveted besides the Pulitzer for those
unearthing "myriad forms of scandal and deceit" and valuing
"an important story more highly than personal safety." The
George Polk Award has gone to, among others, these luminaries in the
media pantheon:
David Halberstam, Morley Safer, Frances FitzGerald, Harrison
Salisbury, R.W. Apple, Gloria Emerson, Sydney Schanberg, Christine
Amanpour, Homer Bigart, Walter Cronkite, Thomas Friedman, Seymour
Hersh, Ted Koppel, Bill Moyers, Peter Jennings, Edward R. Murrow,
Daniel Schorr and I.F. Stone.
This history is summarized here because of an article containing some
of the most significant new information about Polk a family
acquaintance since I first wrote about his case 48 years ago. It
is devastating and raises serious questions about whether the award
should bear his name.
World War II historian Richard Frank ("Downfall: the End of the
Imperial Japanese Empire") dissects Polk's personal story,
particularly his war years, in a piece last year in The Weekly
Standard. He previously had offered it with no success to the New
Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, The New Republic,
Harpers, Slate, the Wilson Quarterly, and The American Scholar.
If what Frank writes is even close to the truth (and his evidence
seems overwhelming), George Polk was an impostor diligent in serially
misrepresenting his war record.
Delving in Polk's personal papers given to New York University, and
working with other historians and archivists (notably at the National
Archives and Navy Department's Bureau of Aeronautics), Frank found for
instance these bogus highlights in Polk's careful contrivance:
That Polk claimed to have shot down 11 Japanese aircraft in 1942
alone. Such a number would have made him the Navy's
"highest-scoring ace" that year but the shootdowns are
unconfirmed by any U.S. or Japanese records.
That never having taken flight training a Navy requirement for
its coveted pilot's wings "Polk clearly acquired some
golden wings, attached them to his uniform, and had himself
photographed." Frank continues: "Resplendent above his left
breast pocket are the golden wings authorized only for a qualified
naval aviator."
That letters in Polk's papers alleging shootdowns, wounds and a Purple
Heart are "patently fictitious."
That though Polk insisted he devastated the Japanese as a pilot based
on Guadalcanal and Tulagi (an island, too small for an airstrip, north
of Guadalcanal), Polk was in fact "a junior officer supervising
aircraft servicing" at Guadalcanal's Henderson Field. His job
"involved fueling and fixing combat aircraft, not flying
them."
Frank presents much else regarding "Polk's fabrication of a false
account of his naval service that undermines his credibility as a
journalist. . . . He did not merely spin a few verbal yarns about his
exploits: He paraded around wearing the wings of a Navy pilot when he
knew he was not one, and he forged documents to support his
deceits." For more, go to http://www.weeklystandard.com/
< http://www.weeklystandard.com/>
.
Deceptions of more recent journalistic vintage have featured Janet
Cooke (The Washington Post), Jayson Blair (The New York Times), Jack
Kelly (USA Today), and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather (CBS) fabricating
stories about others. They came tumbling down, and properly so. In
George Polk, if Richard Frank is right, we have a diligent conjurer of
his own military resume at least. "Polk's actual (military)
service was admirable, but his later stories burgeoned into a
fantastic deception."
Franks concludes: "Journalism that exposes 'myriad forms of
scandal and deceit' deserves to be honored. So do reporters who take
risks seeking the truth. But to honor them in the name of George Polk
is a travesty."
He's right. But just as a host of establishment-press media declined
to publish Frank's findings, don't hold your breath until a committee
of surviving George Polk Award recipients forms up to demand their
award be given a nobler name.

Claims awarded the Medal of Honor by then
President Richard M. Nixon on July 15th, 1972. He had his award certificate
(framed) with him as well as his presented MoH and accompanying uniform
ribbon, along with his Purple Heart citation (two wounds), medal, and
ribbon. Though he was in the Army, he was awarded the Navy version of the
MoH as he performed his awarded deed aboard a ship while under the command
of Naval officers. He mentioned that he was friends with Gary Wetzal, who
lives in Oak Creek, Wisconsin (a suburb of Milwaukee).
===============================================
Medal of Honor is fake, say officials
Man charged after telling groups of valor
Posted: Aug. 21, 2007
Terry J. Powell has spoken to veterans' groups and public gatherings
numerous times while wearing a Medal of Honor that he said he received for
heroic actions during the Vietnam War - claims that federal investigators
say are bogus, according to court documents made public Tuesday.
Powell, 56, of Milwaukee, has given different stories about how he came
to earn the nation's highest award for valor.
He told veterans in May that he received it for combat in Vietnam and
gave a similar story to a crowd of more than 200 gathered on Memorial Day at
Cory Park in the Village of Dousman, according to a federal search warrant.
In June, he told Waukesha County sheriff's detectives he was a cook on
the destroyer USS O'Hara and nursed several sailors sickened by food
poisoning back to health, the warrant said. He showed the detectives a Medal
of Honor certificate he says he received from former President Nixon on July
15, 1972, and signed by Navy Secretary John Chaffee.
The warrant points out several reasons to doubt Powell's claim: the
O'Hara was a transport ship decommissioned in 1961 and scrapped by 1968,
years before Powell claimed to have saved the sailors. Chaffee wasn't
secretary of the Navy in summer 1972; John Warner was. The certificate,
along with others Powell had for other medals, appeared to have been
altered. And Powell is not listed as a Medal of Honor recipient on any
records.
Powell has been charged with unlawfully wearing the Medal of Honor,
according to documents made public Tuesday. If convicted, he faces up to a
$100,000 fine and a year in prison.
Powell responded angrily to a reporter's call for comment Tuesday.
"I am a Medal of Honor recipient!" Powell yelled, adding he
would submit to a lie detector test.
Powell said he lost the original certificate when his basement flooded
and said he now has a "third party certificate," and denied
forging it.
He repeatedly used profanity when referring to the FBI, which
investigated his case. He said he is displaying his American flag upside
down in protest. He called a reporter a profanity and then hung up.
Authorities learned about Powell from veterans. Robert K. Schmitt and
Gerry Gramins, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9496 in
Menomonee Falls, said Powell wore the Medal of Honor to the post on May 1.
Powell spoke at the VFW that day and described how he said he earned the
medal during combat in Vietnam.
During the Memorial Day speech in Dousman, which was videotaped, Powell
said he served three tours in Vietnam and one in Iraq.
Afterward, a Waukesha detective called Powell and said he wanted to write
an article for a police newsletter about him, which was a lie, the warrant
said. Powell posed wearing the Medal of Honor for photographs, the warrant
said.
On Aug. 7, Powell again wore the Medal of Honor to the VFW post and tried
to speak to the group but wasn't allowed, the warrant said.
The issue of illegally wearing medals will be discussed at the
Congressional Medal of Honor Society's annual convention, set for Green Bay
beginning Sept. 3.
Kenneth Stumpf, 63, of Tomah earned the Medal of Honor for rescuing
wounded soldiers under intense fire and organizing an assault on machine gun
bunkers in April 1967 in Vietnam.
"We're very proud and privileged to wear the Medal of Honor and all
that it stands for and for the men who came before us," he said.
"To have someone (falsely) say they're a Medal of Honor recipient is
just a disgrace."

Police: Man Poses As Soldier; Writes Fraud Checks
(WBZ) BOSTON A 23-year-old Yarmouth man, pretending to be
a soldier celebrating his return from Iraq, wrote five fraudulent checks
to a nightclub after he racked up a bill of more than $4,000, police said.
Christopher Lee Proe has a criminal history in four states and outstanding
warrants in three, including one for failure to register as a sex
offender, Yarmouth police said.
Proe was arrested in South Yarmouth after the Pufferbellies nightclub in
Hyannis reported to police that he wrote the business five fraudulent
checks. Nightclub officials told police they allowed Proe to write the
checks as a courtesy for him being an Iraq war veteran.
Police said Proe received VIP service from the nightclub and had a total
tab of more than $4,000. In addition to claiming he was a soldier
returning home, Proe told the wait staff that he almost died in Iraq.
Proe later admitted to police that he was never in Iraq and has never
served in the military.
Police have charged him with five counts of larceny over $250. He is
scheduled to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Monday.
Proe has a criminal history in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Virginia. He is
wanted in Indiana for failure to register as a sex offender.

Born and raised in South Padre Island in Texas, Quigg said he grew up
in a community “something like this.” His father was in the oil
business; his mother a librarian and he was in church “three times a
week.”
He graduated high school and was a Navy Seal
during the Vietnam War where he was wounded twice. “Jesse Ventura and
I jumped out of airplanes together. We were crazy,” he said.
“Everybody in my family went in to the service. I think every young
man should go into the service because it gives you a better outlook on
life.”
Quigg has a somewhat impressive background.
Trained as a chef in Paris, Quigg said his employment with Hilton
Hotels landed him in 14 different countries.
From there he worked as a personal chef to actor Warren Beatty and
Donald Trump on their personal yachts.
Quigg said he worked four years for each one.
“Beatty was fantastic ... Ivana (Trump) was great. He (Donald
Trump) wasn’t.”
Quigg explains that when yacht owners aren’t using their yachts,
they rent them out to other rich and famous people. In 1988 he was
recognized as the best Caribbean Charter Chef.
And, in addition to all that he has cooked for two presidents:
Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. .... |

I am completely shocked. I grew up with Shon, as we attended St. Charles school together, and also went to New Mark Middle School together many years ago. We haven't been in contact for over 15 years, and I got the news via phone from my mom in Gladstone yesterday. What the articles don't tell you about Shon, is that prior to being a reservist, he was originally a SEAL (early to mid 1990's).
