From:
"Dan
Brannan" <dan@danbrannan.com To: <info@pownetwork.org Subject: My name on your website Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 19:03:59 -0500 Just recently I became
aware of your website, this only after a friend of mine emailed and let
me know that my name was posted with some details that recount a story
that I told about my While what appears on
the website does capture the details of a story that I told one night
over twenty years ago it does not by any means tell a story about me.
And I would suspect that this is true of nearly all of those whose names
appear on this site. If the others are like me I would guess that
most of us know, understand, and have to live with the fact that lying
about ourselves did far greater damage to us as individuals than it ever
did to anyone else. Although my claims to be a POW, Medal of
Honor winner, who served in the Special Forces were false I believe that
those who did suffer as POW’s and those who did win the CMH, and those
that were in the SF; have lived and earned a distinction that no one can
diminish, take away, or dishonor. The only dishonoring that was
done was to, in my case, me. Although I did lie and
have lived it by not correcting it, the truth is I doubt that there are
twenty people that know about it. I say this because, rather than
summon the courage to “set the record” straight, which I have had
the opportunity to do on several occasions, I either acknowledged it as
being true, or let people believe what they had heard. And on each
of those occasions, with every missed opportunity, I felt a deep sense
of guilt and shame. My belief was that if I just never talked
about it would eventually go away. Although this tactic gave me
some solace, it didn’t address the core issue; that being that I knew
there were those who did believe those things about me. But the
more troubling issue for me was that it also caused me to question my
character, I mean who would tell such a story and why? Life is a journey during which, hopefully, each of us learn and accept who we really are. My journey has been at times difficult, but many times rewarding. I know that I have come a long way since my youth. I also know that experience, and experiences, shape people. In my case I know that I struggled with my self esteem for many years, still do to some degree, but I also know that creating a false image is not the answer. Somewhere along the line I came to terms with the reality that I had to learn to like me…for me, and as me. I could easily go into my childhood and growing up, and I could rationalize and conjure up all kinds of reasons and excuses for feeling the need to be liked or admired for someone other than who I am. But at the end of the day that is all they would be; excuses and rationalizations…and worse I learned that this kind of thinking never allows one to learn to like oneself or get to know oneself. Just to set the record
straight: I am a I was rapidly promoted,
achieving the rank of E-6 Staff Sergeant and was awarded three Bronze
Stars and the Purple Heart. My commanding officer also wrote a
letter on my behalf recommending me for a direct commission. I
still have the draft copy but I honestly do not remember whether he ever
officially sent it to the powers that make that kind of decision.
I do know that my priority was to take the path of least resistance and
get out of the Army as soon as I could, so this may have had some impact
on both his and my decision to pursue a commission. In fact I had
forgotten all about it until just recently when while going through my
military records I came across the draft letter that he had written. I think my reason for
sharing this detail is to make a point; I have a military record that I
am proud of, and I would have to believe that making Staff Sergeant in
less than three years was a testimony that someone thought I had what it
takes to be a leader. The question that I struggle with is: why
didn’t I recognize and accept that for what it was, rather than
fabricate something else? Although I believe that now, at 58-years
old, I do know why; I also know that it has probably taken that long for
me to understand it and I know that I am certainly not capable of
explaining it, nor for that matter do I believe it is necessary.
All that is necessary now is to admit it; and I do, and apologize for
it; and I do. And then of course live with it; and I will.
Anyway, seven years ago
I thought I had begun to put this behind me, for it was then that one
person came to me and questioned my story. He had never heard it
from me, but from someone else; anyway he challenged me and fortunately
he did it in such a way that I knew that I had to come clean, which I
did. He was a retired military colonel and interestingly, once I
told him the true story I also asked him what he thought I should do.
At the time I had written a letter that I planned to send to all of my
fellow employees in which I told the whole story and in which I also
tendered my resignation from my position as a union leader. Once
he read the letter, he gave me some surprising advice. He told me
that I should not send the letter because he knew that this story was
only known by a very few people. He went on to tell me that he
felt like I was indeed a good man doing a good job. Today I do regret not
sending that letter, however I also do agree with him. I know that
I am a good man, one that made a mistake, a mistake that cuts deep and
one that caused me to question my very own character. But to me,
my character is no longer a question because I know who I am and am
proud of what I have become. I like myself and I truly enjoy what
I do. A final thought,
actually more an observation. I do believe that the person who is
responsible for posting my Vietnam story on the website was motivated by
something other than the greater good of Vietnam veterans, POW’s, or
CMOH recipients; I say this based upon the timing of the two posts that
I have seen, both done during a time of elections for our union. I
also question that persons courage because in my mind I would expect to
challenge someone first, give that person the opportunity to do the
right thing and set the record straight, before I exposed them on a
public website. I would do this because I have learned, and
believe, that almost every single one of us have our weaknesses, our
hidden faults, and because I do believe this I also accept that none of
us are perfect, that we are all struggling in some way or another.
To me it just seems like a much more honorable and honest approach to
help one another overcome our various hurdles, unless of course our
motivation is to capitalize on them. It also seems to me that when
one expects honor of others they should hold themselves to the same high
standard. I want to close by
saying that I do indeed apologize for my lie; it was neither honorable
nor necessary. Ironically, though, it did far more damage to me,
than it did to anyone else. The good thing; my conscience is
finally, completely and totally clear and as a result I like myself much
better. As for the future, this may indeed come back to
haunt me, it may prevent me from achieving a goal, but it will not stop
me from trying. So to whomever, regardless of your intentions; I
owe you a debt of gratitude. Thanks. –and I do mean it.
Sincerely, Daniel L. Brannan P.S: This email
is going to as many people as I can think of that may have some
knowledge of this story. It is also going on my future website,
with a referral back to your website. I do not want to hide this
or cover it up; I instead intend to live with it, not that I am proud of
it in any way, but because I know that I made a mistake, and one that I
know that I must correct, if for no other reason than for my own
personal satisfaction and conscious. Please feel free to
contact me at my email address, dan@danbrannan.com.

Buzbee, Ronald - Rescued 5 from Tiger Cages of Laos Oct Nov 72. 06/27/01 Mr. Buzbee personally called the P.O.W. NETWORK and apologized for the statements he made in public in Branson, November 2000. He stated NONE of the statements about rescuing ANY POWs was true. He was on NO such mission and was only trying to impress people - carried away by the moment. He is deeply and profoundly sorry, begged forgiveness, and was unaware how much pain he may have caused when he made the statements. He stated that he was also hoping we would allow him to volunteer in 2001, and make amends for the grief his statements may have caused POW family members present. |

From: <aubark@alltel.net To Whom It May Concern: I am Carl James Epperson.Jr. I fully acknowledge
that in the past i have misrepresented myself as a POW and as a SEAL. I apologize to all of the military that I have offended and to the memory of those who gave their life for this great country for claiming such a status among the honorable ones who did I sincerely apologize for this with all my heart. Futhermore, I was never in "Black-Ops" or anything else so honorable. I have tried to lead a Christian life in all ways for well over a year now. I have settled all my outstanding cases with the law and in the process of trying to rebuild a new and honorable life. As far as my criminal record goes I was only charged and
convicted of 1 (one) count of Statutory rape at the age of 16 and that was
over 40 years ago I have had some minor run ins with the law over my
bookkeeping practices but, that is all settled now. I have
re-married a wonderful woman who knows all about my history and has
forgiven me as I hope and pray you will. May we remind you what you said before??

Greetings: I would like to begin the process of retracting some of the claims, attributed to me, which are false. Please provide me with the directions needed to do so. I made claims to having been a POW and I was not. I was assigned duties in Operation Homecoming while stationed at the Fleet Intelligence Center Atlantic. I made claims that I received the Navy Cross and I did not. My highest award is the Navy Commendation Medal with "V". (I am the recipient of the Purple Heart, Navy Achievement Medal with "V", Combat Action Ribbon, Vietnam Service, Vietnam Campaign, Civic Action, Cross of Gallantry and others.) I made these claims in the heat of an online argument with those who had never seen combat or who had never served... who were, themselves acting as if they "knew it all." I exaggerated my service record thinking it would impress them into shutting up. It's as simple as that. I have never, otherwise, inflated either my service record or sought privileges for it. I can provide my DD214 which indicates the periods of my service and in-country assignment, as well as the medals and citations to which I am the recipient. It's a shame that I allowed the moment to get away from me or that I could not have just rested upon my actual nearly 10 years of service, for which I am very proud While this has been an embarassment, it has effected my own feelings of self-worth and contribution even more. It has caused me to want to avoid discussions about the service and combat and I do not like that feeling. I seek your help. Thank you. J. Paul Fallon |

Ladies and gentlemen,
Please accept this letter of apology which is duly
noted to all have served and are serving in the military
service. I wasn't commissioned on
the USS Constitution, but I was sworn into the service
on the ship. Did I serve in Vietnam, no. I was a
washout. I was embarrassed. So the lies came
easily. Apparently to easy. I wasn't out to
hurt anyone but myself. But I will set the record
straight here. I lied about everything but being
sworn into the Navy on the USS Constitution. I have
newclippings about that. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS A BIG FAT
LIE. But I beg of you, its not for
me, but my parents are elderly and very sick and that is not a
lie, and they just could handle what comes. Please
accept this apology and I will
make this right to everyone.
Please I begging you, please don't investigate.
Thank you for this opportunity to set the record straight,

From: Nato Hinojosa <natonator2000@yahoo.com Subject: Apology from Fortunato Hinojosa III
Sirs,
I submit this apology to your site and to all Rangers and
combat veterans I have surely offended by my actions and
claims. On various site on the internet and to several
people I met I claimed to have been assigned to 3rd Ranger
Battalion and to have fought in Panama and the Battle of
Mogadishu.
These were nothing less than lies. While I did serve in
the US Army (1988-1991), I was a 31K (Combat Signaler) and was
not even Airborne Qualified, let alone a Ranger. I
served during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, but was not in the
theater, I was in Korea assigned to Charlie Company, 1st
Signal Battalion at Camp Colbern. Before being shipped
to Korea I served 11th ADA Brigade at Ft. Bliss, Texas.
I cannot apologize profusely enough to the men who did live
through the deeds I lied to have been a part of. Because
of my job (I own a business) I interact with many veterans
passing through, usually make it a point of conversation.
After being exposed as a fraud, I had an encounter with a vet.
It was somehow liberating to state what my service consisted
of and not claiming any heroics. In the long run, being
busted is a good thing. I only hope that the men I
have offended, can find it in their hearts to forgive my
transgressions.
Thank you,
Fortunato Hinojosa III

*********************************************************
I wanted to sincerely apologize for my actions that were
misinterpreted. As I thought that I had apologized to all
concerned for what I had said while I was in a very

your web site it had not happened completely. I
never intended to insult the Men who earned the right to
be called SEALS. I state to all that I was never a

Killenger, Fred E. You really believe you can get someone?s service record? You are such a pathetic asshole and I will be visiting you real soon. You and your idiot friends can bury that thread you have posted on the Dark Places forum, but it cannot be buried where it cannot be found. You are a vile piece of shit who never served your country at all, but yet try to besmirch others who did. I stand by my record, and you are such a liar, because you are right, Special Forces, including the Rangers, are a close knit community and would never, ever give you the time of day, let alone any information about anyone who served with them. You really are na?ve if you think I haven?t contacted the authorities about this. You, who seem to think you know so much, have broken the law with this and you, Dan and your little chums at your hate forum are in for a rude awakening very soon. Try to scramble as much as possible, but you can hide nothing that cannot be found. Find out how much your government likes pricks like you attempting to lie about veterans like myself that fought for our country. You will be someone?s bitch very soon, and as I truly do know people in high places, I?ll make sure you get the proper greeting when you arrive there. You are so fucking dumb you don?t even realize how much trouble you are really in. Fred ======================================== To whomever: The individual who apparently e-mailed you has been carrying out a vicious vendetta against me for calling him out as the liar and coward his is. His name is [WITHHELD] and I am more than sick of dealing with him. I have no need to prove myself or my service record to anyone and will no longer play this game. If you want to check up on my status, feel free to do so. I can assure you I will never be on the list you sent to me. If you allow yourself to fall into this man's game, you are just making a fool out of yourself. Want to hear what he did? Went onto a forum and asked everyone who was a veteran to put their service and dates served because he was doing research into a later book, and he lied to every one of them as it was just a trap to get to me. How ignorant can you get? I have turned him in, as well as an ex-Marine who interviewed me for a job and then put his "gut feelings" down on a forum for all to see, which is against the law. Sorry Ranger Steve Jaeger, I refuse to prove myself to anyone, if you want to hold a full scale investigation of my records, please feel free. ====================================================== August 13, 2007 |

To: <info@pownetwork.org Subject: Apology of Andrew S. Kubash Jr.-Exposed Fake Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 20:33:42 -0600
To All it May Concern:
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to
all those I have insulted and misled by my extensive false
claims of military service and achievements. I regret that I
have taken the liberty to try to be someone, and something I
never was. Your summary of my non-accomplishments is
accurate.None of my listed claims are valid or truthful. It
is most humiliating to be exposed as a fake and
"wannabe", and at the suggestion of someone I
betrayed, I submit this apology. I hope that you accept this
total confession of my fraudulently claimed achievements.
All my lies were of the nature of verbal barroom bragging and
deception, and not for monetary or political gain. Yet a liar is
a liar.
My truthful military history was entering the WI Army
National Guard as a PVT in 1965, discharge from the USAR
in 1976 and concurrent commissioning to 1LT, and transfer to the
Retired Reserve in 1988 as a CPT (Armor Branch).
My e-mail address is a play on the Texas Rangers, a
nickname I had as a police officer many years ago; and not a
reference to an unearned military award.
Yours
truly,
Andrew S. Kubash Jr.

Reported January 25, 2003 - "Pastor" Milne is still soliciting money by phone and email for POW-MIA's Canada All Wars". He is now in Windsor, Nova Scotia (previously in Ontario). He had previously complained that his apology was posted long enough and needed to be removed so he could get on with his theology studies! Pastor Bob states in his latest calls/emails that he designed the POW/MIA Flag for Canada and ... he just needs money to get them printed up. Of course he was careful not to ask... just state that he needed it. ... Stated the only flag he had produced is flying, or on display, somewhere in Maine... He also stated some "big magazine" wanted to interview him about his apology.

stories you wish would be swept away with the current. Ed Moore's wife, Terri,
serves as a Boone County Commissioner which adds a twist to the story. I worked the polls with Terri Moore and I immediately liked her very much . Now her husband Ed Moore was another story. I found him abrasive and aggressive leaving you with the impression that he was a real nut. One can expect this
investigation to have a negative impact on Terri Moore and her
position as an elected official. Last Updated: 5:44 am | Wednesday, June 27, 2007 Vietnam lies draw
probe Prosecutor Jim Crawford confirmed Tuesday that the Kentucky State Police are investigating whether Ed Moore broke federal laws by altering military records to make it appear he had served in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. Moore, who did not return a phone message left at his Florence home, was in the military. But after questions were raised about his service record, he admitted he lied after initially berating his critics as rumor mongers. "I did not serve in Vietnam," Moore said in Oct. 22 statement in which he announced he was dropping out of the clerk's race. "There is no excuse for what I have done," he said. "I realize I have violated the trust of everyone I know, and I am deeply sorry and ask for your forgiveness." Crawford is the commonwealth's attorney for Grant, Owen and Carroll counties. He was asked by the office of Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo to take the case as a special prosecutor. Republican Linda Tally Smith is the commonwealth's attorney in Boone County and did not take the case because of potential conflicts. Moore is a former party official, and his wife, Terri, is a county commissioner. "The state police have opened an investigation, and once they get their review and report done, I'll take a look at it and see what we think needs to be done," Crawford said. Crawford declined to
discuss any further details, but he is scheduled to impanel a grand
jury in July. The form indicates that Moore served overseas for more than two years between 1967 and 1970. It also indicates he received commendations and medals for his Vietnam service. But in three instances "medal" is spelled "metal" and other parts of the form do not match a DD-214 Moore filed with the Boone County Clerk's office to receive a military veteran's license plate. The style of type on the forms is also different. And the form filed with the county clerk indicates that Moore only served a week overseas in Europe, and received an honorable discharge. |
