Name on marker not a POW

By Topher Sanders
Montgomery Advertiser

A Korean War veteran whose name appears on a monument honoring prisoners of war from Alabama said he was not a prisoner of war, and veterans in the state are asking that his name be removed.

Clyde M. Maddox's name appears on the monument at the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The Elberta resident and U.S. Army veteran said he didn't know how his name got on the monument.

"I have a lot of friends that are military and it would be a dishonor to them if my name is on that monument, and it should be removed," said Maddox, 72, who served in Korea from 1952 to 1954. "In fact, I would pay to have it taken off."

Larry Greer, a spokesman for the Pentagon's POW/MIA Office in Washington, said Maddox's name did not appear in their database as a prisoner of war during the Korean War.

Jeff Hester, spokesman for the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, said Maddox's name was pulled from a list of individuals with prisoner of war license plates generated by the Alabama Department of Revenue's motor division.

Maddox, who pled guilty to possessing forged military documents in 1985, and said he has never been a prisoner of war. Maddox said he did not remember applying for a prisoner of war license plate but said that he was at one time in possession of such a plate.

"To my knowledge, I never applied for a POW tag," he said. "Someone gave me one, but I don't recall when it was and I didn't put it on anything. ... I didn't pay that much attention to it. I didn't know they were official."

The Department of Alabama Veterans of Foreign Wars said Maddox's name should be removed.

"We hold in very high regard those who have been held prisoner of war. They are in a very special group of people, and for a name to be amongst them that has not paid that price ... it desecrates the memorial," said Roland Day, senior vice commander of the Department of Alabama Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs officials said they are investigating the matter but said they were not sure what they could do.

"This monument is at a federal facility and is not on our purview," said Clyde Marsh, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veteran Affairs.

A representative for the Gov. Bob Riley's office said they are also looking into the situation.

"The first step is that everything has to be verified," said Sandra Lucas, deputy chief of staff for Riley's office. "Because we have a tag in question, we have referred that issue to the Department of Revenue. And as for the state to rectify the situation, to make changes to the monument is an expensive proposition."

The monument is brushed aluminum, with each of the 1,200 names etched into it. To remove Maddox's name, an entire panel would have to be removed. Hester said he had no idea how much the work would cost.

We all make mistakes and I do agree that people should not claim that they were POW's if they ever not or medals that they never earned.  But to put in false information on this website about a person because of hearsay you are doing the same thing these people have said about there military service that are not true.

As far as the picture goes if these were taken in 1999 then he is a total fake. A second CIB in 1999 for 2nd Bn would mean Grenada in 1983 when he was 4 years old and Panama in 1989 when he was 10. Even if it was the 82d it would be Desert Storm in 1991 when he was 12 and no other actions for a CIB from the 82d until the GWOT. No Ranger in a Ranger Bn would ever wear the Air Assault Badge before his jump wings ever! He is wearing a United Nations Service Medal, NATO Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal (W/ a few knots), Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Service Ribbon and those are the few that I could Identify....

Date Fakes -- Smooth-Operating Imposters Take Victims' Love And Money

Laura Belcher thought she'd met her prince.

Undercover officer Reginald Malone was warm and caring. He sent her flowers, a teddy bear and romantic cards - sometimes as many as three in a day. He was attentive to Belcher's 9-year-old daughter.

"I'd had such miserable luck with men all of my life, and I finally thought I'd met my dream man," said Belcher, a 36-year-old minister's assistant for the Jesuit Community at Seattle University.

But Belcher's prince turned out to be a frog.

Reginald Malone lied about who he was. Despite his badge, his walkie-talkie and his familiarity with police lingo, Malone did not work at a police station, but a book bindery. A previous wife and a live-in girlfriend thought he was a celebrated Navy diver. He was not.

Malone - convicted of theft and impersonating a police officer - is a date fake.

The scary thing is, Malone is not alone.

Date fakes here and across the country lie not only about their jobs but about their ages, their names, their financial status and, inevitably, their marital status, say psychologists and private detectives.

Date fakes will take your money or break your heart. Or both.

Tacoma private eye Sandy Taylor said clients who have been duped by men sometimes call her in the middle of the night.

"They're scared, they're embarrassed, and they don't know which way to turn," she said. "I try to keep a professional distance, but it's hard when you know what's been done to them."

Georgia Kearns, a private investigator in Seattle for three decades, said she used to check out about one date fake a year for wealthy clients. But in the past few years, she's handled 15 cases for women from all walks of life. Kearns said the AIDS scare, the increasing number of single women, and increased awareness that people have a right to know something about who they date have boosted business.

But how do you know when someone is making himself up?

"The mythology that a liar can't look you in the eye just isn't so," said Dr. Gordon Deckert, who speaks around the country about liars and lying. "These liars who prey on women will look you right in the eye. They're on stage, acting out a part. But their audience is the people they're trying to entice."

In Seattle, recent victims include a teacher, an art collector, a computer programmer and a Seattle Times business reporter.

"You lied to me about Lisa," says Marie as the hotel room door opens. "You told me I'm the only one, there's nobody but me."
Until now, the women believed Malone was a war hero, a decorated Navy SEAL.

Phony paratrooper to be feted by French

D-Day vet ‘misrepresented his service’

By Richard Weir
Saturday, June 6, 2009 -

An Army veteran who has masqueraded as a D-Day paratrooper for decades is due to receive France’s highest military award, although records reveal the 84-year-old Lowell native didn’t jump into Normandy on June 6, 1944.

Howard Manoian’s gripping accounts of landing behind enemy lines with the elite 82nd Airborne Division have been widely reported by the Herald, The Boston Globe and other newspapers.

National Archives records provided to the Herald by military researchers show Manoian does in fact deserve recognition as one of the many thousands of young American soldiers who put their lives on the line on D-Day - not as a paratrooper, but as a member of a less glamorous chemical warfare unit that came ashore on Utah Beach and ran a supply dump.

“The military records leave no doubt that he never served in Normandy as a paratrooper,” said researcher Brian Siddall of Ithaca, N.Y., citing numerous reports and payroll records listing Manoian in the 33rd Chemical Decontamination Company throughout 1944.

Siddall, 47, nephew of the 82nd’s Cpl. Quent Siddall, who was killed on D-Day, said, “To give the award to someone who has misrepresented his service for the past 30 years diminishes the value of the award.”

Though queried by the Herald and the researchers regarding discrepancies in Manoian’s past accounts, the French government still plans to award the Legion of Honor to the retired Derry, N.H., cop. Manoian is to be honored today at the Airborne Museum in Ste. Mere-Eglise, said Troy Darr, a spokesman for a U.S. military task force planning today’s 65th anniversary events.

Alexis Berthier of the French Consulate in Boston said the Grand Chancellery of the Legion of Honor is aware of the issue. But he said, “Mr. Manoian will receive the Legion of Honor based on the confirmed and established elements of his service, not on the contested ones. It is established that Mr. Manoian participated in the Normandy campaign and was wounded in action on French soil.”

Reached by phone in his home near Ste.-Mere-Eglise, Manoian acknowledged serving in the chemical unit, but stood by his paratrooper claim: “I was in basic training in the Chemical Warfare Service. After that I went into the paratroopers. The French government did a lot of research on me. They cleared everything.”

D-Day paratrooper David Bullington, 88, of Dyesburg, Tenn., whose name appears in the 82nd’s official records, said he only met Manoian years after the war and Manoian told him three different versions of where he landed.

“You don’t land in three different places in one jump and walk away,” Bullington said. Noting that he lost a lot of friends that day, Bullington added, “I don’t like to see someone claiming to be a paratrooper to grab a little bit of glory for doing what real paratroopers did in Ste. Mere-Eglise. It’s a slap in the face.”

In numerous interviews - even when challenged by the Herald this week - Manoian has said he was shot and hit in both legs by shrapnel June 17, 1944, while searching a house. But records show he was evacuated to England that day after fracturing his middle finger, returning to duty only in November 1944 - precluding his claim of a combat jump in Holland on Sept. 17, 1944.

In Ste. Mere-Eglise bars, Manoian, wearing a scarf purportedly made from his D-Day parachute, is feted as a hero. A plaque marks a spot in the local cemetery where he claims he landed. But Howard Melvin, a 505th regimental sergeant major, before his death in 2002, relayed his suspicions about Manoian’s story to former Herald reporter Tom Farmer, who had interviewed Manoian in 2001. Siddall’s later search uncovered the chemical unit records.

Farmer, who notified French officials, said, “It saddens me that this is a legitimate D-Day veteran who served his country with courage, but for some reason felt compelled to embellish his record to re-create himself as a paratrooper.’

'Band of Brothers' American World War Two hero exposed as a fraud

The Daily Mail
Last updated at 11:31 AM on 10th July 2009
Howard Manoian was a local hero in the Normandy village that he had retired to - feted for his tales of sacrifice in liberating France from the Nazis.
The American was happy to tell how he was wounded in action twice after parachuting into nearby Sainte-Mère-Eglise on D-Day in the fierce battle later depicted in John Wayne's film The Longest Day.
Numerous admirers heard how he was shot in the hand and legs by a German machine gun during a fire fight and then again by a Messerschmitt which strafed the field hospital where he was recovering....

A jump from the truth?

Vet’s account of ’44 air drop over France questioned

 
Howard Manoian, 84, whose accounts of a parachute landing on D-Day in France, have recently been questioned. 

A man whose accounts of landing behind enemy lines as a paratrooper on D-Day earned him ample press attention may have fabricated them, according to a newspaper report and military records.

Howard Manoian, 84, had in recent years described to several newspapers, including Stars and Stripes, his harrowing jumps into France and Holland as part of Company A, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. But military records never listed him with that unit during World War II. Instead, they showed him as serving with the 33rd Chemical Decontamination Company, which was in charge of a supply dump in Audouville-la-Hubert, France.

"He was never part of the paratroopers," said researcher Brian Siddall of Ithaca, N.Y., who first told the Boston Herald about his allegations.

Siddall cited many morning reports and payroll records listing Manoian in the 33rd Chemical Decontamination Company throughout 1944.

"The evidence is overwhelming and these reports are accurate," he said.

The Boston Herald first exposed Manoian’s apparent misstatements last week. Stripes could not reach Manoian by phone at his home near Sainte-Mère-Église where he has lived for the last several years. His landlord said he had returned to the United States after becoming severely ill.

Manoian was scheduled to receive France’s highest military honor, the Legion of Honor, during a ceremony last Saturday, commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion. An official at the Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d’Honneur confirmed that Manoian was slated to receive an award from the organization, but could not provide more details.

According to the Herald story, National Archives records provided to the newspaper by military researchers showed Manoian does deserve recognition as one of thousands of American soldiers who were present on D-Day. Manoian’s chemical warfare unit came ashore on Utah Beach and ran the supply dump.

Manoian told Stripes in 2006 that he landed on June 6, 1944, in a cemetery in Sainte-Mère-Église, and helped to fend off Germans who were flooding back into the French town. Manoian said he was shot twice: first on June 17, 1944, in the left hand and both legs, and then he said he injured his right arm, hand and head when a German plane strafed the Utah Beach hospital, where he was recuperating.

Medical records show that Manoian was treated twice for injuries suffered during the war. The first time, though, was for a superficial hand wound and he was released the next day, Siddall said. Manoian was also injured on June 17, 1944, but records show he was treated for a broken middle finger at a hospital in England. He was not discharged from that hospital until November 1944, contradicting his claims that jumped into Holland in September 1944. Both medical unit reports list him with Chemical Warfare Service, Siddall said.

Even as late as March 21, 1945, medical reports show Manoian listed as part of the Chemical Warfare Service, not the paratroops, Siddall said.

3.  Mr. Marshall:  "Matter of record: I have trained in other arts and hold rank. It isn't important from who are where for it would disclose my military background, which is sealed. "

4.  Mr. Marshall:  "I spent 24 years in the US Army 5th Special Forces, and retired as a Command Sgt Major with multiple combat engagements. My perception of motivation is derived from this viewpoint, and the
understanding that there is always someone better than I am. The responsibility of the teacher to train the student's mental conditioning, in order to become a need, and no longer a want is necessary to travel beyond the self preservation aspect of the human mind.

2008 - He said he was in the military (Special Forces) for 25 years, was in 14 theaters of engagement over 11 years and received 3 purple hearts.  He says he fought in many places Iraq (first war), Beirut, Libya but Granada, and Somalia pop up more in conversation than others.  He says he was a demo expert and was Green Beret - Special Forces. He has sort of hinted that his military record does not exist due to the highly covert nature of his service.  He has so many stories and explicit detail.  He claims so many theatres of engagement and so many kills.  He won't say where he was stationed....

Middleboro Recall

Middleboro is undergoing drastic problems created by poor historical fiscal decisions and current knee-jerk reactions to solve systemic problems. Selling assets to pay current expenses is poor policy. We need to ensure that all have a voice at the table and are allowed to participate and determine the direction of the future.

He once told a couple of buddies that he had driven racing legend Carroll Shelby's brand new high-performance Mustang.

While in Vietnam, he said, he spent two weeks away from his Marine unit living with the H'mong people and learning their cultural ways.

And in 2000, he told a researcher that Vernon Pocknett, the respected and deceased spiritual leader of the Mashpee Wampanoag, hand-picked him as his successor for tribal chief.

For veterans, talking about their time in war can often be an emotional trip down memory lane.

Especially if those stories include being captured by Chinese soldiers in Korea and becoming a prisoner of war for more than a month while watching fellow soldiers be executed.

William O. Marshall gave a moving and vivid recollection of his time as a prisoner during the Korean War, in his keynote speech Friday at Vacaville's POW/MIA Recognition Day, held on the front lawn of City Hall.

Several former POWs and veterans from every branch of the service were in attendance as city and county officials paid tribute to those captured during war and those who never returned from battle.

Marshall said he entered the war as a young, fresh and green soldier, but that changed quickly after months of combat.

"It doesn't take much to become a POW in a war zone. Anyone can grab you," he said.

He said his group of men were held up under the cover of trees and could hear themselves being surrounded as enemy soldiers that banged on pots and pans, while verbally taunting the American soldiers.

"They would say 'Hey Joe. Why did you come to my country?,' " he said. "And you can't say a word."

Marshall, who was also wounded, and his company were eventually captured, stripped to their boots and forced to march to a camp. He said all rules for how to treat a prisoner were thrown out the window.

He said they were put into pens, similar to those farm animals are kept in.

"They would use piano wire to lock you down. It would cut you up. I saw many comrades shot down for no reason," he said. "You got a hostage. You have someone you can do whatever you want to, whenever you want to."

While many soldiers would talk back to those keeping them prisoners, Marshall said he survived by keeping his head down and not saying much.

"I weathered the storm by just being quiet," he said. "Some soldiers, we talk big and bad. But they would lead them outside the door and we heard 'pow, pow.' The enemy, they were real cold blood."

It was when Marshall and others were being marched from one camp to the next that he and a few others escaped. While walking on a narrow trail, they slipped into the cover of the trees and waited for the enemy to pass.

In an outpouring of emotion, Marshall recalled some who weren't so lucky. But after seeing some of his brothers die, the group made a run for it. They eventually found a truck company near a creek and were returned to safety.

"We got under the trees and laid there until it got light," he said. "Then I must have run for four days."

Marshall was asked back into duty, but wasn't the same soldier. He was eventually taken to a hospital and treated for his wounds before returning home.

"I went back, but I was reluctant to do anything," he said. "I was not going to be locked up again."

=======================================

.... I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. Additionally, although I worked for/with the AuthentiSEAL verification organization for several years as an Investigator (and later as a Special Investigator dealing with the media), the members of that organization elected to formally disband in 2005.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL database for anyone named JAMES LEOPOLD MARTIN Jr. Be aware that I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations. There are a total of twenty-five (25) men listed in the SEAL database with the last name MARTIN. Three (3) of those men have the first name “JAMES”. Two (2) of those men are a well-know SEAL father and son; the father (Sr.) having served during the Vietnam era, and the son (Jr.) having served in the late 1980s. The third man didn’t complete SEAL training until 1987. NONE of them have the middle name “LEOPOLD” (nor VINCENT); NONE of them are the man you have identified.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be court documentation) since his claimed service with the SEAL Teams, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that JAMES LEOPOLD/VINCENT MARTIN Jr. has NEVER completed SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a US Navy SEAL or UDT “Frogman”. Please be aware that the SEAL database includes the names of all men who served with the Underwater Demolition Teams (“Frogmen”). Since 1983 when the UDTs were all re-commissioned as SEAL Teams it has been the convention within the Naval Special Warfare community to use the modern term “SEAL” when referring to all men who ever served in any of the SEAL ‘precursor’ units......

....Georgia national guard  deployed to Tuzla Eagle Base in  Bosnia for a 6 month rotation.

Manuel “Manny” Martinez is CASE 084 in  NO GUT NO GLORY by Steve Robinson. (pages 266-271). Thought to be and one of the worst offenders  have ever encountered – a SEAL imposter serving with the “GANG” (Georgia Army National Guard) in Bosnia, wearing a velcro-attached SEAL Trident on his uniform so that he could ‘sanitize’ it anytime it looked like he might run into people who knew he wasn’t SEAL qualified.  Martinez was required to stand before his entire unit in Bosnia and publicly declare that he was not a SEAL… and never had been a SEAL. He’d been using his supposed SEAL status to run operations, and more than one man was injured/wounded during the conduct of these. He’d been using his supposed SEAL credentials to ‘blow through security checkpoints and gain access to classified security briefings’. He was pulled off all combat operations and given clerk duties until the unit returned to CONUS.

Fire Lt. Accused of Faking Military Duty

Suburban Chicago Fire Lieutenant Accused of Faking Military Duty,
Collecting $190K
 
By LAUREL JORGENSEN
The Associated Press
 
CHICAGO - A suburban Chicago fire lieutenant collected more than $190,000 in salary and benefits during several leaves of absense that he got by falsely claiming he was being deployed for military duty, Cook County prosecutors said Wednesday. 
Lawrence Masa, 42, was charged with felony theft and official misconduct following his Tuesday arrest at the Orland Park Fire Protection District headquarters. Masa was released on $100,000 bond Wednesday evening, authorities said.
 
Masa falsified documents to show that he was being deployed for active service in the U.S. Army in order to take five leaves, said Charles Doll, commander of the investigations division of the Orland Park police department.
 
Masa's time off totaled 27 months between March 2003 and December 2006, authorities said. But instead of serving in the military, Masa worked for private contractors overseas and collected about $200,000 salary on top of his fire district earnings, Doll said.
 
Masa claimed deployment to a different location each time, including two domestic deployments and one to the Middle East, Doll said. Masa was on active duty with the U.S. Army between 1982 and 1986 and in the U.S. Army Reserves through 1988, Doll said.
 
A message left at a residential listing for Masa was not returned. If convicted on felony theft charges, Masa could face up to 15 years in jail.

First, I love your website. I noticed you have a firefighter who claimed to be in Iraq when he was actually a private contractor.  His name is Lawrence Masa.  I know Lawrence Masa (Larry), and have worked with him as a private contractor.  He is most deserving to be on your "Wall of Shame", however you don't have the whole story only the criminal action against him. 

He has told us contractors that he was a Army Ranger, Special Forces, and Delta Force.  He was also in Africa, Haiti, Somalia, Gulf war one, Iraq, Afghanistan and many more.  He has told us he was a Medic converted to Intel collecting,   He was also attached to the CIA for a year.
Did I mention he had everyone believing he was a Major in the National Guard?  Yes, and when I last saw him he said he was up for LtCol.
If that is not enough, what you still need to know is that he started the Orland County SWAT Team.  Yes, he was a Police Captain for Chicago police dept. 
His lies go on forever.  This guy has done everything.  Truly the biggest scammer I have ever heard.
 
Finally, 

Larry, enjoy the prison time, don't drop the soap....unless you like that sort of thing.

Harry was a AAF PFC mechanic who never left the U.S. KAREN MAST HAS RECEIVED V.A. benefits. NO RECORD of HER service can be located in St. Louis.

QUESTION EVERYTHING !!!

2003 UPDATE----
.... after the information was retrieved from the Ohio county courthouse and from NPRC, the evidence was sent to the VA IG.  The package included the faked discharge for Karen Rose Mast, and both the discharge certificate and discharge form (now called a DD 214, but then something like an AG form 55-53) for Harry Mast, Jr. The prime evidence was a letter from the NPRC which stated no one in any era served under the name Karen Rose Mast, that the service number on the discharge certificate belonged to a man, not to Ms. Mast, and the discharge certificate appeared to have been altered. About ten days later a reply from the VA stated that said no action would be taken based on the information provided as it was not credible. She has received many benefits from the VA over the years.

E. David Matthaidess II

E. David Matthaidess II, of Rib Mountain, died of a heart attack on Friday, June 6, 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts; surrounded by family after attending his son's graduation from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government the previous day.

He was born in Indiana to Vinita and the late Edwin Matthaidess. He married Kathleen (Kathy) Hanke in 1975 in Charlesburg, Wisconsin. She survives.

Dave spent 36 years in the U.S. Army with service on active duty and in both the National Guard and the Army Reserve. Joining the Army in 1963 at age 17, he was named Outstanding Solider of the Regimental Guard at the U.S. Army Training Center, Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Dave progressed through the enlisted ranks to Master Sergeant (E-8) before receiving a direct commission and serving an additional 18 years as an officer before retiring as a Major (O-4) in 1999. A decorated combat leader with service in Vietnam and the Cold War, Dave earned the coveted Special Forces "Green Beret" and served as a Team Sergeant in numerous elite Special Forces units throughout his Army career in addition to later commands in the 209th Field Artillery and the 174th Infantry. His awards and decorations include the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, the Master Parachutist Badge, the Pathfinder Badge, the Scuba Diver Badge, the Air Assault Badge and the Combat Infantryman's Badge. He earned the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, two Silver Star Medals, three Bronze Star Medals and three Purple Heart Medals among many others.

Dave grew up in Carthage, Illinois but later graduated from Racine Lutheran High School. He went on to receive a BA in History from Carthage College where his father was a professor (where his daughter also later graduated), a Masters in Modern Studies from Loyola College of Maryland (where his son also later graduated) in addition to a Graduate Degree from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

He most recently served as the Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer with a marine products manufacturer and previously held senior executive positions with Xerox, Raytheon, United Technologies and TRW.

His interests and avocations were widespread and varied and included history, reading and the outdoors. His main hobby was bragging about his children's accomplishments. He was a mentor in education and business to many.

His legacy lives on in his son, US Army Major Edwin (Kellie Duncan) Matthaidess III and first grandson David Tate due in July of Gainesville, Virginia and daughter Cherie (USMC Captain Brian) Robinson of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Private services will be held. In-lieu of flowers, a scholarship will be established in his name. Online condolences can be expressed at memoriesofdave@gmail.com and through www.helke.com.

David Matthews

Retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant David Lee Matthews passed away quietly at his home Feb. 10, 2005.

David was born in Long Beach, Calif., on Dec. 13, 1959. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in July 1978. He participated in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, where he was taken prisoner of war. He was also chosen to speak before the United Nations regarding military procedure. He was a very humble man who did not speak of his accomplishments, but encouraged everyone he knew to always strive to do better than their best. The Marine Corps was his life.

...... He moved to Jacksonville from Yuma, Ariz., in September 2003. This was to be a reunion with his children, whom he had not seen in several years due to military obligations and employment as a prison guard with the state of Arizona. He was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor on Thanksgiving Day 2003. He fought bravely during his illness as he had during his military career. He survived longer than anyone had expected.....

Memorial Dedication Canceled After Fundraiser Admits Lying About Service

  RUMFORD, Maine ( NEWS CENTER ) -- The dedication of Oxford County 's new Vietnam Veterans Memorial has been postponed because of an apparent lie. A big ceremony planned for Saturday was nixed after word got out that man behind the memorial lied about serving in Vietnam .Earl "Scott" May represented himself to civic groups and others as a Vietnam vet who'd fought in the bloody battle of Hamburger Hill. But it turns out he was only eight years old at the time.

Organizers decided to postpone Saturday's event after the news got out. The memorial now sits covered by a tarp in downtown Rumford."I think it was a good idea to postpone it. Looking at the law enforcement side of it, I think it was, because when you're dealing with such masses of people, a large group of people would have been here and we're not sure how people would react in situations like that," said Oxford County Sheriff Wayne Gallant.

People in Rumford have mixed feelings about the controversy.   "I seen the man around collecting money for it, and I've gotta give him credit for that, whatever else he's done... that's between him and the Vietnam vets," said Korean War Veteran Mike Harris.

  May says he did serve in the 101st Airborne Division, which saw action at Hamburger Hill. But he now says he served from 1979 to 1986.   The dedication ceremony is now scheduled to take place on Memorial Day.

=============================

Captain May,
My personal response to you, Capt May, is that you seek help.  Your continued activities since I last saw you support my original assessment and I so responded to friends of mine when they asked.  
 
Your accusations and allegations are consistent with classic paranoia, delusions of grandeur (your Ghost Troop) and sense of persecution with such nonsense as Bush drugging a whole population of families at Ft Stewart, the use of a Neutron bomb in Iraq by the US resulting in humans "melting", etc. 
 
 
Your posting of my name in such a derogatory manner on the your website is objectionable only in misspelling my first name.   The only time I saw you and which you identified itself was in a meeting with barely thirty people present and the subject which I addressed was the role of religion in the conflict in the Muddle East.  The only military subjects I addressed wer in response to the usual UH blather about minorities being in the majority in the military.  
You weren't in black, you wore gray.
Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) is not distinguishable from Public Relations in any substantive way regarding the truth or falsehood of the content.  It only differs in that it's target(s) aren't necessarily "public" nor is it necessarily manipulative or deceptive.   The most useful tactical PSYOPs used in combat is simply to tell enemy troops where and how to surrender.  
 
Classic PSYOPs include the offer of $30,000 for Chinese fighter pilots to fly an MIG-15 to South Korea.  The Chinese response was to ground its air force for weeks while personnel security clearances were updated.  
 
In Poland in WW2, the Polish underground published an official looking document proclaiming Hitler's birthday as a holiday for Polish workers working in German factories in Poland.   One day's production lost was greater than most 1,000 plane bombing raids.
 
Your efforts to discredit those you served with in the 75th while they face death in Iraq and Afghanistan lacks the finesse of professional public relations OR psychological operations.   What you have become is the wet dream of the same pro-terrorist crowd that reveled in the blood of those I served with in Vietnam, and who revel in the blood of Houstonians spilled in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
 
Eventually, if not sooner, your accusations and allegations will become an embarrassment to the anti-war crowd.

Block party builds unity


 
Surrounded by neighbors, Eugene McCall welcomes friends old and new at a neighborhood block party Sunday on Keystone Court in Vacaville. (Gilberto Ramirez/GRamirez@TheReporter.com)
Family and community merged Sunday on Keystone Court in Vacaville as about 100 neighbors gathered to celebrate each other during an all-day block party.

Also honored was 73-year-old event organizer Eugene McCall, who received surprise commendations from both the city and his neighbors for his efforts in bringing everyone together.

"This is how every neighborhood should be," said City Councilwoman Dilenna Harris, indicating the close-knit feeling radiating from the crowd. "I can't say how important it is for our neighbors to come together and support one another."

Harris also thanked McCall for his 21 years of service with the Navy, including as a SEAL, and then presented him with a certificate of appreciation from the community...

 

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (end of WWII to the Present Day) for anyone named EUGENE McCALL. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations (MacCALL, McHALE, etc) without finding any that appear to be applicable.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that EUGENE McCALL has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy UDT “Frogman”.

When members of the Naval Special Warfare community meet others who claim similar service, but whom they do not recognize, there is a conversational exchange of information that establishes the bona fides of each to the other. There is no set formula for this exchange, nor for the information that is exchanged, but it ALWAYS takes place, and the REAL Naval Special Warfare members can ALWAYS spot a phony as a result of this exchange. Media journalists don’t have such ‘insider’ information. In the run-up to Veterans Day there are always dozens (if not hundreds) of well-intentioned articles written about veterans and military service, and some will be written about people who never served in the military, or whose aggrandized claims do not accurately reflect their actual service record. Invariably journalists will home in on people wearing huge arrays of military medals, and will often pass up other veterans who either display none at all, or who only display a small number of awards. The visual display of multiple medals is like bait to a hungry fish. The publication deadlines and broadcast time schedules leave media representatives with little or no opportunity to verify verbal claims made by ‘veterans’ wearing such huge medal displays or telling stirring accounts of heroic action. Invariably a few spotlight-hungry imposters will bedeck themselves with awards they did not earn, position themselves to be ‘discovered’ by journalists, and thus find themselves catapulted to ‘celebrity’ status via TV broadcast or news publication.

I will tell you that before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the totally unclassified BUD/S Training program and the follow-on secondary training program; the names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has no impact on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the UDT/SEAL training program. There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”. Despite what you might see on TV or in the movies, there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret UDT “Frogmen” or Navy SEALs. ... You might consider providing this information to the Managing Editor of the VACAVILLE REPORTER; feel free to provide them with a copy of this email.

McLaughlin, Roy Lukas  04/2006
06/2006

02/2008

TN

 

Last known to be headed for Fort Campbell Ky.

 

 McLaughlin named his heating and air business in Tennessee "USMC."    "Lukas" McLaughlin tells others that he was in the Marine Corps.

Latest claims:

  • To be an honorably discharged Marine.

  • To be a veteran of  Bosnia and the Gulf Wars.

  • To be a wounded veteran of the Gulf Wars.

  • To have a steel plate in his head due to an IED in Iraq .

  • To have a scar on his shoulder from a bullet in Iraq .  (stabbed in a bar according to Dickson TN PD)

  • To have been tortured last month at Fort Campbell Ky because he knew something about stolen military hardware.

  • To have spent 4 years at Vanderbilt University

  • To have more than 10 years of service to the Marine Corps  (he's 27 years old)

  • To have been recently re-activated to go on a special mission to get Bin Laden

  • To have been promoted to gunny sgt for the special ops mission to get Bin Laden

  • To be a professional poker player.

  • My personal favorite:  he spells Zulu  Zooloo

 -----------

He claimed to her that he was a Criminal Informant -  found it to be a lie.  He still claims that he is a CI for DEA, TBI and Homeland Security.  Dickson TN PD says that McLaughlin has used the identity of his brother who may currently be a police officer.   

------------------

Previously charged with impersonating a police officer.  He uses his brothers military gear (while his brother WAS in Iraq) telling people he was a Marine.  He once says he was shot in Iraq when he was called up to go there to rescue his brother. He tells people he isn't married, but he is or at least was then.   He uses one of his children as a pawn in his crazy schemes.  He has several children.

His brother, James David McLaughlin is an 11 yr Marine Veteran who served in Bosnia and Iraq.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Roy Lester McLaughlin  -  a 100% disabled US Army Veteran.

Has record with Tennessee Board of Parole and Probation. Reportedly on probation - facing theft of weapon charges and more.

When he suddenly had to disappear because his special forces unit had been re-activated to go and get Bin Laden, he neglected to clean up behind himself.  Found in his belongings were hundreds of birth certificates from states other than TN.  He'd been placing ads in newspapers offering financial help to single parents.  He collected $30.00 and copies of the families' birth certificates.  In return, he sent them a pamphlet containing common knowledge that could be found in the phone book or internet.

"Lukas wishes to act and tell others that he is some kind of hero when he doesn't have the balls to even visit a recruiter."

Six days a week Carl McCrary works counseling children, many of them juvenile delinquents, in group homes and treatment facilities. On his time off, he doesn't stop....

...."Sound off!"

"Parade rest!"

It usually takes a few minutes for newcomers to catch on and start chiming in with the collective screams of:

"Sir, yes sir!"

But between double-stomping and running drills, McCrary is weaving in more subtle lessons about leadership, never giving up and the benefits of staying in school and respecting one's parents.

The former Navy SEAL has labeled his effort "Youth Rescue Mission" because he feels nothing less than a full-scale rescue effort is necessary to steer youth away from the negative forces around them....

Carl McCrary – is NOT listed in the SEAL Database. Master Chief  has contacted the paper about the story and says he’ll keep me informed of progress.

Police say Air Force poser stole $500,000

By Sam LaGrone - Staff writer
Posted : Monday May 4, 2009 5:23:18 EDT

On April 3, police say, Isaac E. McCrumby strolled into a Target in El Paso, Texas.

He browsed the electronics section and picked up two iPods and a DVD player; when it came time to pay, police said, he reached into his uniform pocket, pulled out his Air Force ID and wrote two checks.

The name on the ID was Kenneth Stewart; the money belonged to a woman from New York.

McCrumby took his bags and strolled out the door, authorities said, into a warm and cloudless afternoon.

Texas and federal authorities claim the shopping trip was another day at the office for the unemployed and unsigned R&B singer who never spent a day in blue.

McCrumby made his living by donning rumpled camouflage with no name tape, rank or insignia and passing bogus checks and credit cards, according to officers and police documents.

In the two years McCrumby had posed as an Air Force reservist, authorities estimate, he had stolen $500,000.

McCrumby told Air Force Times he hasn’t done anything wrong.

Imposter extraordinaire?

McCrumby, according to the authorities, used stolen bank and credit card information to pass bad checks nationwide.

With a fake military ID and a camouflage uniform, McCrumby went into businesses and passed checks and credit cards to the tune of sometimes $20,000 a month before being arrested in early April and admitting his actions to police, according to a search warrant affidavit.

“He had 4,000 names and account numbers,” said Lt. John Williams with the police department in Euless, a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Police also say they found an unregistered and fully loaded AK47 in his office.

On April 8, Euless police arrested McCrumby on three felony charges: fraudulent use of identification information, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of forged government documents.

McCrumby was released from Tarrant County jail April 11 after posting a $70,000 bond.

A female accomplice

Two Euless police affidavits, signed by Detective Brian Brennan, for warrants to search McCrumby’s home and office detail the police case.

Authorities first got wise after a Bank of America internal investigator notified them that $20,000 was missing from 20 accounts that had been handled at a Countrywide Financial office in Fort Worth.

The investigator traced the accounts back to Kimberly Crawford, 26, a customer service representative who admitted to selling account numbers to McCrumby.

Crawford would jot down the account information from service calls and give McCrumby 30 to 40 numbers in return for about $1,000. Crawford told police that McCrumby then created fake credit cards with a card skimmer, a device that wrote over the magnetic data strip on Wal-Mart gift cards and prepaid Visa cards.

Then McCrumby donned his pseudo-uniform and passed himself off as Tech. Sgt. Kenneth Stewart, an Air Force reservist. He cashed forged checks at Wal-Marts and Targets in El Paso and Las Cruces, N.M., police said.

McCrumby “was probably using the military ID cards as a second form of ID to help facilitate his fraudulent activity,” Special Agent Matt Miller, with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, said in one of the affidavits.

Brennan, the detective who signed the affidavits, followed up on two April 3 checks used at the Target in El Paso.

Surveillance video showed a man “wearing an Army-style uniform” use two stolen account numbers to buy two iPods and a DVD player, Brennan wrote. The “male wearing the fatigues is McCrumby.”

A setup?

McCrumby is adamant that he’s not the man who police are looking for.

“I don’t know what they’re trying to get together,” he said. “I didn’t make that money like that.”

McCrumby describes himself as an R&B singer who ran a small studio in Arlington, Texas, and now is being accused of crimes he didn’t commit.

“They just have the wrong person,” he said. “By the end of this investigation the true person will be stated.”

McCrumby said the account numbers and the AK47 in his office, raided by police, were not his. They belonged to others who worked in his studio and were stored there “because mine was the only one with a lock on it.”

McCrumby admitted to being in prison in Arkansas, but was vague on the details.

Since being let out, McCrumby’s “been trying to get signed” by a record company, he said.

MyPage

Clues to McCrumby’s lifestyle as a hard-luck crooner litter his MySpace page.

From his studio, he recorded atmospheric R&B seduction ballads under the handle “Sicc,” with the titles “girl please” and “big trucc chevrolet.”

Police say he funded his music hobby with his ill-gotten cash.

Judging by the contents of his MySpace pictures, McCrumby was able to finance a lifestyle filled with Vegas vacations, tricked-out SUVs, Cadillacs and jewelry.

One photo gallery has almost 50 pictures of McCrumby in a Vegas hotel room with captions that read “fresh to def,” “eyes for the haters” and, posing in front of a mirror, “no theres not to [sic] of me ............. sorry ladies.”

On a post to a blog linked to his site, a friend listed as “Darius C” describes McCumbry as “Makin dem fake checks.”

Movin’ in

After Crawford, the Countrywide employee, admitted to her role in the fraud, authorities moved on McCrumby’s storefront studio April 8.

Besides the AK47, police and federal agents found thousands of dollars in high-end recording gear and expensive instruments; a stack of fake checks made out to Kenneth and Kimberly Stewart, the names on the fake military IDs; 160 counterfeit money orders; two credit card skimmers; four fake military IDs; and hundreds of account numbers, records show.

What they didn’t find: the uniform.

The police went to McCrumby’s house in Fort Worth.

No one was home, so the police broke down the door.

Police found more electronics and impounded them — flat-screen TVs, video game consoles and workout gear.

They also found a large hole in the master bedroom wall.

“There was severe damage to the walls in the master bedroom and the master bathroom because someone removed a large floor safe,” the affidavit says.

Police theorize whoever moved the safe threw a 45-pound weight at the wall to get to the safe, cut the bolts that held it to the floor and wheeled it out.

Officers didn’t find a uniform, but on the floor next to a child’s jacket was the camouflaged hat that looks like the one the man was wearing on the surveillance video.

Damage assessment

As of April 30, McCrumby was facing state charges in Texas but he likely will also face federal charges because of the allegations he passed bad checks in other states, said Williams, the police officer.

McCrumby averaged $600 a check over the 500 transactions they know of so far, authorities said.

As to the extent of the alleged damage, no one knows for sure.

“More investigation is need[ed] on the other suspects and personal information that was seized,” Brennan, the detective, wrote in an affidavit.

“There were thousands of account numbers as well as identities compromised in this scheme.”

DEPARTMENT
Isaac McCrumby, 29, used 
a fake Air Force ID to cash bogus checks, 
police say. He was arrested on federal fraud
