THOSE CLAIMING MEDAL OF HONOR
NOTE: In 1996 HLI Lordship
Industries (at the time, the OFFICIAL USG contractor for the Medal of
Honor) admitted selling THREE HUNDRED unauthorized medals for $75.00
each from 1991-1994. They were fined $80,000. NOT ALL of those medals
have been recovered. Offenders in possession of an
unauthorized medal can be arrested, fined (up to $10,000) and jailed
(up to a year). It is the only military medal that CANNOT be bought,
sold, bartered, traded, collected, auctioned, exchanged.... EVERY
Medal of Honor is awarded by act of Congress. Less than 150 REAL Medal
of Honor recipients are alive today.

=======================================
Please
pass this information along in response to the inquiry regarding Mr. FRANK
TI NEFF.
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 free of
charge, 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 FRANK T
NEFF. I
have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar
pronunciations without finding any that might be applicable.
Unless
he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action
for which there would be court documentation) since his claimed
attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have
provided, I can state conclusively
that FRANK T NEFF
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. If you have an opportunity to speak with the man at some
point in the future, I might suggest that you to ask Mr. NEFF
these questions:
(1) Since
there is no listing in the SEAL Database for the name you are currently
using, WHAT NAME DID YOU USE
during SEAL training?
(2) What was
his BUD/S Class Number?
(NB: No SEAL ever forgets the class number he shouted all day long,
every day, for 6 months)
(3) Where
did his training take place? (NB: Training has been conducted at several
locations over the years; different portions in different places)
(4) When
did he graduate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training?
(i.e. a specific graduation DATE)
There
are many other questions which could be asked to further establish the
level of veracity or untruth regarding his claims, such as asking for
the names of other members of his graduating class, but those basic
questions are absolutes. The answers
to those questions are totally UNCLASSIFIED, and every real SEAL will
gladly provide that substantiating information upon request, although
you will be very likely be told that the information is either
classified or sensitive and cannot be provided, or you will be given
some totally bogus information.
No
one gets to the SEAL Teams without first completing BUD/S Training.
There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of
“SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but
there are NO secret SEALs… we know them all. Thank you for your
assistance in upholding the honor, integrity, and reputation of the
Navy’s SEAL Teams.

Subject: Story on Ken Nelson
Ms. Ruffin and President Postell!
You would think that if Channel 10
and the Sacramento Bee were partners or whatever your association,
that you would do more research on your stories. Mr. Sylva from
the Sacramento Bee wrote a similar "good people" story a few
months back. Those who have been suspicious of Mr. Nelson for
some time, raised a volume of questions. This resulted in an
investigation of his validity and claims. Preliminary
investigation has been done and his case is being turned over to the
FBI for prosecution of the "Stolen Valor Act". Per the
preliminary investigation, it was found out from a reliable source
that Mr. Nelson spent only a little over a month in Marine Boot Camp.
This means he was never a Marine, never received any of the medals he
has proclaimed, etc. We have, as well as other organizations,
requested a copy of his DD214 which is proof of military service and
discharge. This is a required document to join many Veteran
Organizations. Mr. Nelson has not, and will not produce a DD214.
Until a formal investigation is performed by the FBI, of course, the
charges are still alleged, and yes individuals are innocent until
proven guilty, but the evidence is pretty strong. I suggest you
look at this website. http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies377.htm.
Many people and many organizations were conned by Mr. Nelson for many
years, including our own, but now it is time that the truth be
known one way or another. Mr. Nelson has never made any
attempt to provide proof of his service or awards received.
Mr. Sylva contacted me a few times
re: Mr. Nelson before he wrote his article. I acknowledged
that he had performed service at the Memorial, and many had honored
him for that, but could not validate his claims for his military
service, nor all of the medals and awards he claims to have received.
Mr. Sylva went ahead and wrote the article and later had to
acknowledge in the paper that those claims, etc. were not valid.
I will give you the same advice as I did Mr. Sylva, do your research
when you honor military people. Ask for a DD214 first.
That document will tell you the real story.
Tonight, I am sure that you have
upset many true Veterans who know about this situation. To
honor this man is a slap in the face to Veterans who truly served with
honor. I can't even imagine the insult to the spirit of those
fallen heroes on that Memorial and their families. When on earth
will you people learn to do thorough research?

========================================================
Ex-Sailor Guilty of Pretending to Be an Admiral
Delaware Man Gave
Speech to Vietnamese American Group in Va.
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, October 9, 2008; Page B01
He wore a short-sleeve Navy summer white uniform, crisp and
pressed. Had the black and gold shoulder boards of a rear admiral
and a chest full of ribbons and carried himself with the confidence
such a high rank bestows. He said he was a veteran who had served
all over the world, in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Iraq.
Last year, at a ceremony in Falls Church to commemorate the
Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Day, Trung Huan Nguyen took the
stage and addressed a crowd of about 100 Vietnamese Americans.
Although he certainly seemed like the real thing,
there was something that wasn't quite right about the man in white.
No matter how perfect his uniform, or how plentiful his service and
personal decoration ribbons, some attendees were suspicious. They
checked him out. And yesterday, Nguyen pleaded guilty in U.S.
District Court in Alexandria to impersonating a Navy rear
admiral.
In truth, Nguyen, of Middletown, Del., was an enlisted man and
had been out of the Navy for 13 years.
Prosecutors said Nguyen's deceit went far beyond merely playing
the part of a highly ranked officer at the event, held at the Eden
Center in June 2007. They said that he kept a profile on
military.com that claimed he was commissioned into the Navy as a
medical doctor in 1985 and received special warfare training. In his
online biography, he played up his combat experience and said he had
served in the Persian
Gulf War, the global war on terrorism and the Iraq war.
The reality, prosecutors said, was that he was an E-4, a petty
officer third class, the equivalent of an Army corporal. He served
aboard the USS Missouri and the USS Constellation and at the Naval
Air Station at North Island San Diego. His Navy career lasted just
four years and ended with an honorable discharge.
Lawyer David Hubbard said his client told the judge that he
perpetrated the fraud because he had always wanted to be a naval
officer and could never get over the disappointment of not realizing
his dream.
"I think that he very much wanted to be in the officer corps
and that despite his best efforts, he was disappointed that he never
made it,'' Hubbard said. "That was just sort of his goal, in
the sense that maybe someone becomes a doctor and they really want
to specialize in pediatrics. He wanted to go into the Navy and be an
officer.''
Hubbard could not say why the military rejected Nguyen's request
but said he was honorably discharged. He said Nguyen, who is in his
early 40s, came to the United States from Vietnam and "joined
the military as a way to fit in in society, to find a place in
America.''
He added that Nguyen apologized to the judge and is "very
sorry for what he has done.''
When Nguyen showed up at the Eden Center last year, he spun a
tale that raised some eyebrows.
"Nguyen's charade collapsed when several of those in
attendance checked out his claim and determined it to be
false," according to a news release issued by prosecutors.
The Naval
Criminal Investigative Service investigated the case, and Nguyen
is facing a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $250,000
fine. He was released on a personal recognizance bond. As part of
his plea, he agreed to turn over any uniforms, insignias and
decorations he is not entitled to. He is also required to send in a
"mental health evaluation and treatment and waive all
confidentiality," according to court documents.
A Navy spokeswoman declined to comment last night, as did
prosecutors.
Nguyen's case follows that of a Louisiana man
who never served in the military but wore a full-dress captain's
uniform complete with a Navy Cross, Silver Star and Purple
Heart to his wedding in an effort to impress his wife. That man
was sentenced to a year of home confinement after pleading guilty a
week ago.

AS noted on the form the man was on active
duty from January 1971 to June
1973. Afterwards he was a reservist. Any tour of duty in Vietnam had to
occur during his active duty phase. The 101st Airborne (AB) Division
left
Vietnam in March 1972. A tour of duty usually lasted 13 months. Thus he
would have had to be there staring in April of 1971 if he claimed to
have
served the entire tour with the 101st AB. He couldn't have completed
basic
training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training as listed in time. The
listing of assignments doesn't reflect any service outside of the
continental United States (OCONUS). The majority of his service was
apparently spent at Ent Air Force Base, with the Army Air Defense
Command,
located in downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Regarding the NPRC representative's reference to FOIA I suspect it has
something to do with the note about a Court Martial transcript not being
in
the file. Apparently there was some military judicial actions taken
during
his service. I hope this review is helpful.

Vet admits wearing false medals
By CLAIR JOHNSON
Of The Gazette Staff
Carl Anthony Nissen claimed he had served 12 years in the U.S.
Marine Corps, served three tours of duty in Vietnam and earned numerous
medals and decorations, including the Silver Star. Trouble was, it
wasn't true.
Nissen, of Billings, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to a
misdemeanor charge of false wearing of medals. U.S. Magistrate Judge
Carolyn Ostby fined him $250, which he paid immediately.
Appearing on a summons, Nissen said he did not want an attorney. At
times barely audible, Nissen admitted he altered documents about his
military record and wore medals he didn't earn.
The case was part of a national investigation called Operation Stolen
Valor to investigate and prosecute those who lie about their military
service to receive financial benefits or for other reasons.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Fehr said that last December, the FBI in
Billings received a tip based on the national investigation that Nissen
was wearing ribbons and badges that he had not earned on his Marine
Corps dress blue uniform. Nissen allegedly wore these decorations on
numerous occasions while attending events sponsored by the local Marine
Corps League.
The FBI got a copy of his discharge documents and compared them with the
copy Nissen provided to the Marine Corps League. Nissen's document had
altered information, including his discharge date, decorations, medals,
badges, commendations, citations and campaign ribbons. The altered
document also claimed additional education and training, Fehr said.
Investigators found that Nissen had been interviewed for a story about
the fall of Saigon that appeared in The Billings Gazette in April 2005.
Nissen claimed in the story to have served three tours of duty in
Vietnam and to having served 12 years in the Marine Corps. Nissen
actually served three years in the Marine Corps and one tour of duty in
Vietnam, Fehr said. Nissen also falsely claimed to have served in
Operation Desert Storm.
The medals and decorations Nissen claimed to have been awarded included
the Silver Star, Combat Action Ribbon with two devices, Navy
Commendation with device, Navy Achievement Medal and Navy Unit
Commendation.
When interviewed, Nissen confessed to altering his discharge document.
He sent the medals he wore to the FBI along with a letter of apology,
Fehr said. Nissen did not use the altered document to obtain veterans'
benefits or preferences.
Nissen faced a possible penalty of six months in prison and a $5,000
fine. Fehr recommended the $250 fine.

Former judge dies in car crash
A car accident has claimed the life of former 16th Circuit Judge Michael
F. O'Brien.
O'Brien, 68, of Rockwall, Texas, and formerly of St. Charles, died
about 2 p.m. April 3 when the car he was driving entered the median on
Interstate 80 about 32 miles south of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, hit a culvert
and rolled over two or three times before coming to rest on its top,
according to the Iowa Highway Patrol.
His wife, Gail, was injured in the accident and was treated at the
University of Iowa Hospital. Hospital officials declined to give out any
information about her condition.
O'Brien spent 14 years as a 16th Circuit Court judge before stepping
down about a decade ago in the wake of charges he falsely portrayed
himself as a Medal of Honor winner.
At the time, O'Brien apologized for a 20-year ruse that he won the
medal, blaming a battle with alcoholism for affecting his judgment. The
situation came to light when he applied in 1992 for special Illinois
license plates for Medal of Honor winners.
He faced pressure from most of his fellow judges at the time, the
Illinois Courts Commission and even the state General Assembly, which
threatened to attempt impeachment.
"My error in personal judgment was my failing to admit — even
to close friends and family — that this, in fact, was not a true story
long after I had recognized and begun a lifelong battle with the disease
of alcoholism," O'Brien wrote in a statement in 1995......
O'Brien served in the Navy and graduated with a law degree in 1963
from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, with continuing education
at the National Judicial College.....

Claims he was on a Navy boat in Vietnam and it
exploded and he is the only one who survived.
He stated he was in the Navy in Vietnam prior to his Reserve duty.
Says when his fellow Navy men were killed and he was wounded he went to
"sick bay" and so his family was never notified of his wounds.
Stated that all his records were lost in the St. Louis
fire. Then he said he worked for the VA and he destroyed all of his
documents. Then he claims he falsified his documents and is afraid of
getting caught because he went through such horrible times...he is so
traumatized he doesn't want to talk about his experiences. He speaks
of his buddies engaging in atrocities where one guy would walk and shoot any
woman he saw.

CLAIMS

Age would have made her 19 in Korea. Limited chance WAC officer this
age.
No female military captured in 1953. Female civilians captured in 1950
but
this is not the issue.
No women on line 1953 where capture possible.
Seoul far behind lines in 1953.
Conclusion: Bull Shit.
===========================
No record of her.
=========================================
There were female civilian prisoners of the North
Koreans in Tiger Group, including one American. She survived.
A few
French nuns and several "stateless persons" from former
Tsarist Russia
were also bundled into the group. But none of this seems to
match.

Madison man gets prison for ID theft of
Down syndrome man
MADISON.COM
Kevin Murphy
Correspondent for The Capital Times
July 22, 2008
A Madison man who posed as a BBC reporter
in a scheme to obtain credit cards in the name of a young man with Down
syndrome was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to four years and six
months in prison and ordered to repay $25,763 to four victimized banks.
District Judge Barbara Crabb called J.
Richard Outhier, 37, a "pretty scary individual."
"You prey on vulnerable persons to
finance a lifestyle by illegitimate means," Crabb said to Outhier.
Outhier previously admitted to using an
"identity broker" in 2006 to get the name of a Boston woman
active in Down syndrome awareness then, under the guise of interviewing
her for a news story, verified her son's birth date and Social Security
number, which he had obtained from the broker.
Using the son's personal information and
duplicate copies of his birth certificate, Outhier obtained a Social
Security number and then credit cards from U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo
Bank. Outhier used the man's identity to obtain a bank loan to purchase
a 1999 Saab in January 2007, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Reinhard.
The Boston woman only learned of
Outhier's scam when she received an overdue bill from a credit card
company and a benefits statement from Claddagh's Irish Pub in Middleton,
where Outhier had worked, said Reinhard.
Outhier also worked as an emergency
medical technician in Cottage Grove this fall while authorities in
Wyoming were putting together a credit card fraud case involving losses
in excess of $100,000, said Reinhard.
Outhier has been "enmeshed in a
criminal lifestyle," since he was 21, Crabb said. He
was court-martialed from the Navy after impersonating a Navy SEAL in
1993. In 1994, he was convicted of criminal impersonation in Colorado,
and later he was convicted in a federal court of issuing worthless
checks.
While Outhier worked as an emergency room
employee in Ft. Worth, Texas, he stole personal information from
patients to obtain credit cards in their names and charged about $23,000
on their cards, Reinhard said.
His mother reported that Outhier
"cleaned out her bank account," in the early 1990s, Reinhard
said.
Outhier apologized to the court and his
victims and asked Crabb to recommend that he serve his sentence as close
to Madison as possible.
Crabb imposed a sentence near the top of
the applicable guideline range on three counts of credit and bank fraud
telling Outhier that he seems to "take pride and satisfaction in
your ability to con people. Anyone who comes in contact with you should
be on guard.

Claims
USMC, Korean War POW, held 7 months, escaped with 148 others. Claims he and 6
other men from the "special forces," were part of a
"deal." Claims "It makes Watergate look like a tea
party." Bigger than JFK.
==============================
He says he was a
POW for 7 months and 6 days. He also claims to have liberated himself
and 148 other POW's. He claims to have been awarded the bronze star, 2
silver stars, navy and marine corp medal, & 4 purple hearts. He has
NO paperwork (lost in the fire he claims) and has said he turned down
his veteran benefits. He says he was a Sgt. stationed at San Diego, CA
then shipped to Korea. He also claims to be a member of the special
forces. For 26 years I have been proud of this man. He wears his
ribbons and displays his medals. His 9 yr old grandson is also very
proud of him and determined to be a Marine. Is he a fake? How can I
find out for sure? Can you help at all? Please let me know
something.
.... he is carrying around a fake DD214
with the name Jacques Marcel on it. He made this fake form
himself to stay with the VFW # 6678...
... know how I could go about having his name
removed from the plaque in Mannford, OK (its for his time as a POW big
laugh huh)...
.....
we got the records, thank you. I am going to mail you his
"story" & the DD214 & I would like you to post him
on your web-site. The truth should be known. Thank you
again for all your help in this, I now know that this lie WILL NOT go
any farther in this town or in this family. I am going to try
and get his name removed off the wall in Mannford, there has to be a
way to get it done.
Please feel free
to post any of my letters to you on your web site, people should know
how badly one man's lies can tear his daughter & 9 year old
grandson to pieces.
