Only
one man with the last name EADS in the SEAL database… and our man is
most likely still on active duty. Neither our man’s first nor middle
names are "Charles" (although that is the name cited in the
news story). While he may be a military veteran, the man reported in the
article (Charles EADS) is not and never has been a member of any part of
the Naval Special Warfare community – UDT or SEAL Teams. Please pass
this information back up the line to the individual who sent you the
report.

| Edwards, Martin Bennett | 09/2005 | Memphis, TN | 
Over the course of his past 3 years in the Tennessee State Defense Force, he has systematically claimed more and more prior veteran status to the point that he is now wearing military decorations on his uniform including a Bronze Star with combat V and a Purple Heart with cluster. He insists that he was in MACV-SOG and he even carries around a DD-214 where the "only" unit he was ever assigned to was MACV-SOG. The DD-214 is a very bad, copied multiple times version. Edwards claims when he "landed in Vietnam, he had to cut off his skivvies so that the communists wouldn't be able to identify him as an American". Additionally, in order to have earned Master Jump Wings, he would have to have participated in the 35 parachute jumps. Something almost impossible to do since his claim of service in the US Army is from 71 to 73 with 2 years stateside and 1 year in Nam. Edwards is wearing a CIB, Master Jump Wings, and ribbons including: Legion of Merit, Bronze Star with V, Purple Heart with cluster, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal and the two Vietnam Medals (yet he can produce no certificates of award for any of these medals). |

News-Info-Alerts Re: A Hero is Coming Home Date: May 22, 2004 "At long last, hero is coming home By Tony Dobrowolski Berkshire Eagle Staff PITTSFIELD -- Sixty years after he fought in World War II, and 36 years after his death, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Joseph G. Elsensohn Jr. of Pittsfield is finally coming home. Elsensohn, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism, the nation's second-highest battle honor, died in Oakland, Calif.,onDec.13, 1968, and was buried in a pauper's grave, some 3,000 miles from home. But thanks to a determined five-year effort from several local veterans' groups, assistance from state officials, and two Pittsfield funeral homes, Elsensohn's remains were finally disinterred from that Oakland cemetery last week. They will be flown across the country to Albany (N.Y.) International Airport today, and arrive in Pittsfield tomorrow. A group of motorcyclists from Dalton American Legion Post 155 will escort Elsensohn's body tomorrow as it travels by hearse from the airport to Pittsfield. Elsensohn will be reinterred on Saturday, May 29, in his family's plot at St. Joseph's Cemetery, where his body will lie near his father's. That date was selected to coincide with the official dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. His remains will be kept at the Devanny-Condron Funeral Home on Maplewood Avenue until they are put back in the ground. A wake will take place at St. Joseph's Church on May 28. "It means a great deal to have my brother back home," said Elsensohn's sister, Eleanor Martin Hebert, who lives in Williamsburg. "It means a great deal to have him here so we can visit his grave and know he's being cared for in a meaningful way. "He was a very special person," said Hebert, who last saw her brother shortly after she was married in 1958. Elsensohn's family members have known for about 20 years that he was buried in Oakland, but bringing his body back to Pittsfield has proved to be difficult because of the cost involved. "We kind of accepted that that was where he was going to be for awhile until we could do something about it," said Elsensohn's daughter, Virginia Staelens of Pittsfield. "I called the cemetery and asked them if there was a way to get him here. The person at the cemetery who answered said the money it would cost you to bring him back would be phenomenal. She said if you ever want anything in your life that you want to buy, you won't be able to do it if you bring him back home." That all began to change five years ago. In January 1999, several veterans organizations started a fund drive to collect enough money to build a World War II Memorial in front of City Hall. Staelens sent a $10 donation in memory of her father to retired U.S. Army Col. Gregor Young of Pittsfield, the former commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Pittsfield. Along with her donation, Staelens sent a letter outlining her father's many accomplishments in World War II and information that he was buried in Oakland in a pauper's grave. "When Virginia wrote to me -- I was the commander of the post at that time -- her letter came across my desk and it hit me right between the eyes," Young said. "I think the whole thing was -- and I speak for all the veterans in Pittsfield when I say this -- that when a vet dies, a vet goes out and helps," he said. "We've showed up for homeless vets, who nobody knew what their name was," he said. "It's a common cause." Besides the sentiments Virginia expressed about her father in that letter, what also caught Young's attention was Elsensohn's military accomplishments. Elsensohn, who was born in Pittsfield in April 1925, served in the Army from August 1943 to December 1945. A member of Company A, 551st Parachute Infantry, 82nd Airborne Division, Elsensohn took part in some of the fiercest fighting in Europe. His unit was involved in the invasion of Italy, the Normandy Invasion -- where he was dropped behind enemy lines in France before the Allied landing took place -- the invasion of southern France, and the Battle of the Bastogne. Elsensohn was twice wounded in action, in January 1944 during the Sicily-Anzio campaign, and in Toulon, France, in August 1944. He was also captured by the German Army and kept briefly as a POW before escaping. He was awarded 16 other military citations in addition to the Distinguished Service Cross. The Berkshire Eagle, in an article on Elsensohn's exploits, published in June 1945 while he was home on furlough, referred to him as "in all probability, this city's most decorated soldier of World War II." "He had quite a significant battle record," Young said. "He was in it hot and heavy." After the war ended, Elsensohn came back to Pittsfield. But he ran into family problems. He married but later separated, and moved to California after he was divorced. Elsensohn apparently slipped into obscurity on the West Coast. According to one account, Elsensohn died alone in his apartment and his body wasn't discovered for a couple of days. According to Young, Elsensohn had several emotional problems, including frequent nightmares, that were connected to his World War II combat experiences. Based on what he has learned, Young said he believed Elsensohn may have had post-traumatic stress disorder, a psychiatric condition that wasn't diagnosed until after the Korean War, and not fully understood until after the Vietnam War. "He was involved in three major invasions and dropped behind enemy lines," Young said. "That takes an awful lot of guts and courage. ... Getting shot two or three times. That's traumatic." Young said many World War II veterans have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder but were never treated for it because no one knew what it was. "It seems like you go to war and fight a war, and that's the end of it," he added. "But some of them carry it to the grave." Staelens, who remembers her father as "my favorite guy in the world," said her brother, Joseph Elsensohn III, who lives in Big Pine Key, Fla., discovered her father had been buried in Oakland around 20 years ago. She accompanied her brother to Oakland to visit her father's gravesite. She said they were shocked when they discovered their father had been buried in a pauper's grave on a footpath that allowed people to walk across it. "I think my brother's words were, 'Did you think Dad would've ever thought he would've ended up like this?' " Staelens said. "Ever since that day, all I thought about was how do I get him back here. ... You can't do it alone." "It's been a tremendous, tremendous job," Young said. After he took up the cause five years ago, Young said he wrote letters to the commanders of various veterans organizations throughout Berkshire County asking for their support. He also contacted U.S. Rep. John W. Olver, D-Amherst. "He did help," Young said. "He found out where he was buried, but then all the doors began to close on us." Young said he then contacted U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry. "He's a vet," Young said. "I thought maybe he could help. He opened some doors for us. But everything seemed to come down to money." Then Larry Keefner, the retired manager of Dery Funeral Home on Pittsfield, took an interest in the project. "He got on board and said he would furnish the whole thing," Young said. But when the cost of bringing Elsensohn's body back to Pittsfield still appeared to be too daunting, Young and Elsensohn's family members finally received the push that brought the project to fruition when David Yon, the managing partner of Devanny-Condron Funeral Home, became involved. Devanny-Condron is owned by CarriageServicesofHouston, which also owns several funeral homes and cemeteries around the country, including Antioch-Oakland where Elsensohn was buried. Yon, who is also a veteran, contacted Carriage Services and said the company agreed to disinter Elsensohn's remains and pay for them to be shipped to Pittsfield. "We did it through our company so the family didn't have to pay for any of it," Yon said. "I'm honored to do this. He needs to be here. I believe we need to take care of our vets." Tomorrow, Elsensohn will finally come home. "I'll be able to put flowers on his grave," Staelens said yesterday. "I'll be able to go visit him at his grave like any normal person would. I visited my dad's grave once and it wasn't a pleasant experience. "It means a lot," she said.

have been sent this article from a researcher of the 551st and he does
not know of a Joseph G. Elsensohn Jr. being awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross. I checked the Legion of Valor and also the

were several politicians and I would think their office confirmed it.
BUT I am going to the experts,,,,,,your opinion please. ==========================

I would say mystery solved. We have what we have and the

I knew every person in the Battalion and this guy never was in 2/4. I exposed him to the Mustang Association and there BOD accepted his resignation. Eppley refused to comment on his book but said he stands by his writings. I had to get affidavits from the former CO, XO and Gy for that period. During all this bullshit I was the one being critesized for exposing this LtCol. I had a friend obtain a walk through Freedom of Ino act and obtain all of his Enlisted and Officer records. He claimed Korean War, Drill Instructor, Force Recon (of course) and 2d tour in Vn. No such thing according to his records. He was Asst Pers Officer G-1 3d Mar Div as an 01.

| Fabregas, Enrique | 05/2007 | . |
Local News: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 Previous complaints against foster father ignored
The foster father had two faces. On one side were the glowing letters of reference, some 20 in all. Enrique Fabregas had a "compassionate heart," wrote James Sinclair of Overlake Christian Church. He provided "safe and loving care" for children, wrote Douglas Hamilton with the Consulate General of Canada. He's a "personal friend," wrote a Seattle police officer. The state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) gave these references considerable weight when they licensed Fabregas as a foster father, allowing him to take three girls into his home beginning in 1998. They didn't give so much weight, however, to Fabregas' other side. DSHS records show that between 1996 and 2004 Fabregas, of Redmond, was the subject of 25 complaints to the agency, eight of them alleging sexual abuse or exploitation. But only one of those resulted in action against Fabregas — failing to report there was a dog in the home. It now appears DSHS got it backward by placing so much stock in the references and not enough in the complaints. Fabregas, an unemployed restaurant worker and a member of the Overlake church's choir, was charged last month with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography. Court documents allege that his former foster daughter, Estera Tamas, now 19, was horrifically abused by Fabregas, an ordeal that transformed her from a good student to a drug-addicted dropout. Documents released Tuesday afternoon by DSHS paint a fuller portrait of what critics say were the agency's lapses. The documents show how the state dismissed one complaint after another and allowed children to stay in the home until a Redmond detective got a search warrant in February. The detective, Jennifer Baldwin, found photographs and videos depicting child pornography and Estera's abuse. "Fabregas pulled the wool over the eyes of DSHS," said David P. Moody, an attorney representing Tamas and her sister, Ruth. "Unbelievably, DSHS was charmed by this man to the detriment of these vulnerable young girls." Mike Tornquist, administrator for the licensing arm of the agency, said the supportive letters, combined with a series of recantations by the alleged victims, contributed to the agency's decisions. DSHS investigations did not substantiate a single complaint against Fabregas, records show. Although The Times generally does not identify sexual-abuse victims, Estera Tamas consented to the use of her name. The Times was unable to contact another girl who had been adopted by Fabregas (and who is now 12), so she is not being named. She is now living with another foster family; the Tamas sisters are living on their own. Ruth Tamas, who is a year younger than her sister Estera, was placed in Fabregas' home in 2002. She said she was physically abused by Fabregas until she demanded to be removed from the home in 2004. (She has not alleged sexual abuse.) Looking back, she's left wondering how Fabregas was licensed as a foster parent in the first place. Although in agency documents Fabregas claimed at times to be free of criminal convictions, records show he had at least six convictions for crimes including carrying a concealed weapon, theft and drug possession before receiving his foster-care license. He also had a history of drug abuse, including cocaine use. But after completing treatment, a judge issued him a "certificate of rehabilitation." In addition, even before he had applied for a license, DSHS investigated complaints against Fabregas of sexual abuse and physical neglect. The agency did not substantiate either complaint. Records also show Fabregas' licensing interviews with DSHS did not go smoothly. He claimed to have a high-school diploma but couldn't remember the name of the school, where it was or when he graduated. He said he was in the Navy SEALs but couldn't remember when. He said he worked nights but "shrugged, mumbled and tried to change the subject" when the interviewer asked him who would watch the kids while he was at work. Nonetheless, he was granted a license in 1998 and became a foster parent to the daughter of an ex-girlfriend. The mother lost custody of the child because of abusing alcohol and the girl suffered from fetal alcohol effects as a result, according to DSHS records. "I think there was a lot of stock put in the certificate of rehabilitation and the support coming from the community," Tornquist said, explaining the decision to grant the license. Fabregas legally adopted that girl in 1999 and allowed his foster-care license to lapse after that. Over the next few years, he was the subject of seven complaints, including two alleging sexual exploitation. Those complaints were closed as unfounded. He was also arrested in 2001 for domestic violence, but those charges were dropped. Again, the agency looked past these issues and in 2002 granted Fabregas a new foster-care license. This time, he took in the Tamas sisters, the daughters of another ex-girlfriend who went to prison. After that, he was the subject of 15 more complaints, including allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation. The agency deemed all of them to be unfounded. Every time investigators showed up, Fabregas had his supportive letters handy. "He pulls out a notebook of references and says, 'Look, these people say I'm a good man.' DSHS ... takes them at face value ... declares the allegations unfounded and moves on," Moody said. Tornquist said the agency was stymied because of the "continuous recanting of the girls." The DSHS documents show that Estera Tamas at times denied she was being abused. Ruth Tamas said that she never changed her story — and it was shocking. Immediately before being removed from the home, she claimed to have seen a video of Fabregas sexually abusing Estera. She told her new foster mother. Another Tamas sister, who was living in another foster home, said Estera confided in her, too. The two foster mothers began a campaign in the summer of 2004 to get Estera and the adopted daughter out of Fabregas' home, writing letters and calling top-ranking DSHS officials. Their complaints, like the others, were brushed aside. "He knows how to work the system," Ruth said. "That's why nobody believed us."

Grand jury:
A fake BY STEVEN M. SWEENEY |
Article
published Aug 8, 2008 Man pleads guilty to faking honors Separate charges for medals bought online, counterfeit checks could lead to 31 years in prison By Ed Palattella ed.palattella@timesnews.com After buying a Purple Heart, Silver Star and other military medals on eBay, Dale G. Farr presented himself as a decorated Army captain who had displayed exceptional gallantry and valor in battle in Afghanistan. On Thursday, Farr stood humiliated before a federal judge. The 33-year-old former Army private, who was discharged for misconduct in 1995 and never saw combat, pleaded guilty to charges he faked his military honors and, in a separate case, defrauded the Erie Federal Credit Union by cashing three counterfeit checks worth a total of $188,700. "I'm pleading guilty because I am guilty," Farr told Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice B. Cohill Jr. "I wanted to do the right thing." Farr also told the judge he had received psychiatric treatment in 2005 and 2006. He was not specific about his mental health problems. Cohill, who accepted the plea in federal court in Erie, set sentencing for Nov. 25 and told Farr he faced a maximum sentence of 31 years -- a year for the charge of falsifying military decorations and 30 years for the charge of bank fraud. Farr, however, is likely to receive far less than the maximum sentence after Cohill takes into account the guilty plea and other factors. Farr, who is free on $20,000 unsecured bond, declined comment after the sentencing, as did his lawyer, Thomas Patton, an assistant federal public defender. Farr now lives in Troy, in Bradford County, south of Elmira, N.Y. A grand jury indicted Farr in November. He was a car salesman living on Ginny Lane in North East when the FBI began investigating his military history in October 2006, after agents received a letter questioning the accuracy of the Farr's claims. The letter writer, who has not been identified in court records, said Farr was telling people he was a U.S. Army veteran with two Bronze Stars -- including one for valor -- and a Silver Star and a Purple Heart, all for his service in Afghanistan. The FBI said Farr bought his medals through eBay. The medals were genuine. Farr's claims about his military background, however, were not, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall Piccinini said in court. He said Farr used the fabricated honors to get a $500 military discount on a car purchase and Pennsylvania license plate emblazoned with a Purple Heart. The bank-fraud case grew out of the investigation into Farr's military persona. The FBI said Farr defrauded his credit union by cashing the counterfeit checks between August 2006 and February 2007, and wiring $130,000 from one check into another bank account. Farr spent the money. Farr, the government said, tried at first to explain the disputed transactions to the Erie Federal Credit Union by claiming he had been the victim of an Internet scam. ED PALATTELLA can be reached at 870-1813 or by e-mail. What's next Dale G. Farr will be sentenced Nov. 25 in federal court in Erie. He pleaded guilty Thursday to bank fraud and falsifying military decorations. |

SPECIAL FORCES and "GREEN BERET"... http://www.phonyveterans.com/Fernandez.html Norman Gregory
Fernandez hails from Southern California. He was the National President
of a Motorcycle Club that he was building thru the Internet via Delphi
forums. (American Cruisers Riding Club). This is an honorable Motorcycle
Club who knows Fernandez is a Fake and have taken steps to rid
themselves of him. 01/2005
The wannabe from Calif, has tattooed on his right inside forearm a
"SOG" patch. This was how he got people to believe his bull
crap. I helped the LTC in the Air Force to bust this creep. I used to
be on the Motorcycle Forum. And I had actually talked to this POS on
the phone and asked him questions he couldn't answer. He was really in
the Air Force for a few years and was kicked out. He was a radio
operator. Rank was
a E-4.
