Claims Army, 2.5 yrs in Vietnam, POW for 20 weeks.

Jerome Pagell popped up years ago. He was trying
to pull a scam on the VA. We heard that
one VA official bought his phony story and listed him as a POW.
At the time, he was claiming that he was a POW for three years.
Claims POW. He was wearing a Vietnam POW hat with the medical
symbol and spoke at length of serving as a prisoner of war for 26 months
some odd day's and even down to the hour. Claimed he spoke 7
different languages, knew the exact time and date he was repatriated,
had 4 collage degrees, claimed to be blind, complained of the VA not
giving him care (he deserved)...

Claims
Navy Service 1963 - 1967
Can't remember the name of the ship he served on, but
he claims he flew on a helicopter into VN as a flight crew member, and
upon landing, he shot a VC in the woods! Claims to have been a
helicopter mechanic.
He states his DD214 is incorrect and he can't get it
corrected because his records were lost in the fire.
Claims 2 tours in VN, once he was in the hospital -
has never said why.
Also states he was in the ARMY or National Guard as a
SSGT.
States that he was a POW!
At one point, stated he couldn't join the VFW because
his DD214 was not correct; but now says he belonged to the VFW in
New York, but resigned because they weren't doing things right!
He is now a member of the American Legion. He
constantly tells the other members "war stores" about himself
in VN; wears military clothing, POW bracelet and has told numerous
friends that he is retired Military - he in fact is retired from Civil
Service!
He constantly reads any true military stories, books,
etc. and buys videos about VN.
Told a deputy sheriff that he was a Federal Marshall
in New York!
Also stated that his first wife and two children were
killed in a car wreck while he was in the hospital during his second
tour of Nam. Reports state his REAL wife, JoAnn, says that he
left his first wife and kids and never paid child support or expressed
any interest in seeing them, even after they were grown and of age. |
