Nathan104 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Finally found the answer. I cant stand some people. Fraudulently claiming to be a Medal of Honor recipient with disabilities and is taking donations and having a charity benefit held for him. Makes me sick.

RockyA1911 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Go here to verify MOH recipients. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Medal...onor_recipients It is a Federal Crime to fraudulantly claim to be a Medal of Honor recipient, it is also a crime to possess, buy, or sell if you are not a MOH recipient. If he is not a MOH recipient, have the bastard arrested, call the police on him. You're letting a POS like that dilute the prestige and crap on all of us veterans. Put the puke in jail!!!!!

Berta Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Nathan-I would report this guy to someone- especially the people putting on any charity function for him- There are laws on the books now as this link shows: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:0G8hx...=3&ie=UTF-8 And there is a Stolen Valor Act before Congress to penalize these wannabees. Maybe this bill passed already. What a disgrace -we had one of these MOH imposters here at hadit years back- another former member called him on it with that same list-there are more names on it now- GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan104 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/sa...on-flyer-sm.jpg That is the link to the flyer they are advertising. He may very well be a veteran and may have health issues. But he is absolutely not a Medal of Honor recipient like it claims. Not sure who it would be reported to. Just seems like making a claim like that and taking donations and receiving charity money from the event would be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I didnt find him on any MOH list either and dont think they awarded MOH for anyone in Desert Storm-not sure- This vet is obviously dealing with a lot-I wonder if some family member gave the press release people the wrong info- and no one has corrected it yet-they would have to re-do all those flyers but still- this is false representation and the vet sounds so ill he might not be able to speak for himself- maybe he got another type of award- civilians make mistakes-on these awards- and any vet would surely know that other vets would check this out- I think it is the fault of the poeple who prepared this press release for the charity thing- 2 years ago a local widow told the undertaker her husband was a Korean vet- He was a VIETNAM vet-a good friend of mine- I called the funeral home and they had already sent the paper a correction- This vets family might just be overwhelmed and gave wrong info-the vet sounds like he was too ill to do this himself- still- it isnt right and someone should correct it- I can see giving him fund raiser but not under false info about his service.

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted January 24, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 24, 2007 Found this: Under United States Code, (18 U.S.C. § 704)(, it is illegal to wear the Medal of Honor without authorization, but one can still legally claim to be a recipient unless such a claim is made with the intent of securing veteran benefits. A number of veterans' organizations and private companies devote themselves to exposing those who falsely claim to have received the Medal of Honor.[43] Imposters are said to outnumber true Medal of Honor recipients. HLI Lordship Industries Inc., a former Medal of Honor contractor, was fined in 1996 for selling 300 fake Medals for $75 each.[44] pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
