Claims Vietnam POW (held in Laos 2.5 years) w/an
awarded purple heart (calf was shot off of one leg). He has a Boston
accent.
He is recognized in our area and is very vocal about being a POW.
He receives 100% disability from the VA. He was a gunny sargent in
the Marines when he left the service. He was a mechanic on
helicopters and his chopper was shot down over Laos and he was captured.
He was held for 2.5 years and was released after the others held by the
North Vietnamese were already home. That is the basic story he
tells everyone. He was supposedly part of secret mission ops that
took troops back and forth into Laos. That is the reason given so
far as to why he doesn't show up on any POW list. His call sign on
the helicopter was "Panama", if that helps at all.......
Wayne Manning, USN. Not sure of rank/grade but he is in the Milwaukee VA hospital and claiming to be a former POW from the Vietnam era.

Their names are read one by one, slowly and precisely, filling the skies with a resonance that says the blood of heroes never dies. A simple flower whispers: "I will never forget you--even though I hardly knew you."
Delores Tackett was just four years old when her brother died in Vietnam.
He went to serve straight out of high school never had the opportunity to have a family a marriage but he went and served his country and gave his life for his country.
Close to a hundred names are etched on this veterans memorial in front of the Hawkins county courthouse.
Laura Cornett grew up with out a father.
My whole life was changed because of my father's death I was three years old when he was killed in action.
And it's not just the families of veterans who remember those who gave up so much.
Well on April 12 Th 1965 I lost my whole team, yeah I remember them all.
Blane Martin spent the next sixteen months as a P-O-W, squashed into in a bamboo cage not much bigger than himself.
I try not to remember all of it but I can't forget it.
And so the roll call will be sounded again out next year, and a not so firm hand will pay tribute, with a respect that's rock solid.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was first observed may 30th 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
The reporter states:
I guess he has a problem to confront at some point in his life ....or may be he won't ...thanks for the heads up ...Brian

2007 - Attended the Chambers Farms powwow where he is a member of the Black Warrior Society. Martin presented the "Buffalo Robe" to ANOTHER phony named Daniel Laws at the powwow.Laws claims MOH, Navy SEAL, Purple Heart, a POW,
once in Vietnam and once in "Beloit", was wounded three
times and still active in the military as a military advisor to Condi
Rice."
When asked f he was a SEAL instructor, Martin said " I trained
Daniel." When asked what team he was with and he told me
UDT-12 1958 to Aug 1967. When asked what BUDS class he was in
- he changed the subject
Martin himself claims he was a POW in a bamboo cage for eighteen months or that he was hung by his thumbs for two years in a jungle prison or the story above in the newspaper.

POW Network,
BOTH of the men which are involved in this action are SEAL IMPOSTERS.
This is yet another case of each imposter providing offering false bona
fides for the other as well as making their own false claims. Both are
heavily involved in the Native American POW WOW circuit, the Native
American military veterans’ GOURD DANCE ceremony, and the Native
American BLACK WARRIOR SOCIETY specifically for military veterans.
Recommend after you review all for completeness that both men be
installed on your web site as imposters with all the details.

....... Lee Martin, who was preparing to
come back to the U.S. when he was captured in
Vietnam, shared some of his experiences as a prisoner of war.
"I spent a few bad days in Vietnam," Martin said. "I didn't know the Lord at the time because of things going on around me. I said, 'There can't be a god.' I said, 'If he's as good as they say he wouldn't be letting this happen.'"
One of Martin's friends whom he was captured with eventually succumbed to the torment as a prisoner and committed suicide, he said.
"One night while I was sitting there the Lord come to me and talked to me," Martin said. "He said, 'Lee, believe in me and you'll make it home.' You see now that I am home.
"I believe in the Lord because he was the one that brought me to Vietnam and brought me to serve him," Martin said. "I am now a deacon at West Side Baptist Church in Berea."
Martin said he had spoken in front of students
previously, but was nervous speaking in front of a group of veterans.

Kit Carson Elementary students participate in Veterans Day
ceremony Berea Community School celebrated the 50th anniversary of Veterans Day with a tribute to all veterans who work tirelessly to secure freedom for America and for others........ Vietnam Prisoner of War Lee Martin also talked about being a veteran and his time in Vietnam. He said although he was captured and held prisoner, he will never regret serving in the military. "I'm proud to be an American, and I'm proud to be a veteran," Martin said. "When I got home, I never got a welcome from the people either. I don't suppose many from Vietnam did. We are still proud to have been part of the United States military who served our country to fight for freedom." Martin talked of the day he was taken prisoner. He said he and fellow comrades were sent to pick up nine other soldiers who had been out fighting for weeks. He said after getting the other soldiers, their helicopter went down. He said everyone but himself was killed. I was pinned under the helicopter in a rice-patty field, Martin said. I was taken prisoner for 14 months. It was very bad for so very long. One day I asked God why I was there, he answered by saying if I believed, I'd make it back home. That was the day I asked the Lord into my life. Then one day the U.S. Marines came in and rescued me. That was a glorious day.... Tonia Sexton can be reached at tsexton@richmondregister.com. |

Military records dispute hero status
By Lynne Powell | Cherokee County Bureau
lynne.powell
GAFFNEY -- A Gaffney man who told
reporters he was a Marine heroically rescued from a Cambodian POW camp
in 1970 in fact served only 10 months in the Navy and was
court-martialed, according to military records obtained by the
Herald-Journal.
The copies of military records for
57-year-old Warren Brent Messer show that he enlisted in the Navy in
October 1967 and received a special court martial for an unauthorized
absence in August 1968. He was discharged ?under honorable conditions?
-- which is different from an honorable discharge -- into the Naval
Reserve later that month.
Messer said in an interview with
the Daily Courier of Forest City, N.C., and two television stations
that he was prisoner of war in Cambodia, barely hanging on to life at
80 pounds with broken feet and fingers before Ronnie Scroggs rescued
him.
Scroggs, a North Carolina resident,
claimed to be an Air Force medic who rescued 18 POWs in the 10 months
he was in Vietnam.
Messer said he suffered four
gunshot wounds and was awarded an unprecedented 17 Purple Hearts and
was set to receive the Medal of Honor.
After his claims were published,
members of national POW groups and Gaffney residents who knew Messer
disputed his story.
When contacted by the Associated
Press Thursday, Scroggs said his efforts weren't documented because of
the secret nature of his mission........
According to
Messer's military records, he enlisted in the Navy on Oct. 13, 1967,
and completed boot camp on Jan. 16, 1967. The Navy declared Messer had
an unauthorized absence from the military for one month before he
turned himself in on May 24, 1968.
His record shows he
was court-martialed on Aug. 2, 1968, for the unauthorized absence. On
Aug. 12, 1968, he was discharged, according to his records.
His enlisted performance record shows he received the
lowest rating (1.0) for military behavior and wasn't rated at all on
leadership, military appearance or adaptability.
The records show
that Messer received no decorations, medals or badges and it is noted
he wasn't paid from April 23, 1968, to May 24, 1968, during his
unauthorized absence.
Messer has filed multiple claims with the
Department of Veterans Affairs for as many as 15 medical conditions
including damaged eyes, hearing loss, muscle sprains and a gunshot
wound to his chest.
