Ron Worthey gets his time in the spotlight

by Jonn Lilyea••77

Last week, we busted Ron Worthey for lying about special forces service in Vietnam, this week he gets the fame and attention that he wanted from his local media at WAOW;

WAOW – Newsline 9, Wausau News, Weather, Sports

The Wausau-based veterans group Souls of Honor is disbanding, following fraud accusations of its former president Ronald Worthey.

According to watchdog group Guardians of the Green Beret, Worthey lied about serving in Vietnam, having a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts.

Military records show he served stateside and didn’t receive those awards.

The now standing president of Souls of Honor said he is working on forming a new group with a similar mission. He wants to reassure veterans in the community that although the Souls of Honor won’t exist in the same capacity it once did, the group will still be there to support Wisconsin veterans.

If you hoped that Worthey is different from other phonies;

Worthey could not be reached for comment Monday.

    1. “Worthey could not be reached for comment Monday.”

      Ol’ Stuffer has started a new group called Soles of Horror and decided to beat feet outta town…

      1. He told the Guardians of the GB investigator he would have to leave town because he was outed by them and Jonn.

        1. If true (he has to leave town after being outed as a LSoS), then gee: that’s . . . just . . . too . . . bad.

          Couldn’t happen to a more deserving LSoS. Though there are a load out there who are IMO equally deserving.

        2. Sad thing is, that was just another lie! He has not left town and was spotted at a local grocery store days ago!

    1. Yes, Ron Worthey definitely has all the experience to make a fake SEAL based upon what we have seen here. All he needs to do is change some patches on his vest and pin on a trident and get a new hat. He could even go full Bernathian rutabaga and claim to have been a POW of the NVA.

  6. Ron “Worthless” Worthey wanted to be in the spotlight.

    Well Ron, how does it feel?

    2. Dang, that was mighty funny!!! You could at least issues a Level IV Spew Alert.

  9. Piece of Shit Ron Worthless all of a sudden reticent and gun shy about appearing and commenting in public. He wasn’t so reticent when he happily accepted the quilt from the Wausau Quilt Ladies with his lies sewn into it…

  10. This dumb ass has more patches on his.vest than my grandmas quilt!

    Just goes to show you how pathetic ones life can become when it’s built around one event in your life! In this guys case, it’s built around a non-event! Vietnam Vet my ass!

    1. And the pisser to the whole deal is, that earlier in the vests metamorphosis, the spot now occupied by a “Dinky Dau” patch, was taken up by a 2nd Award CIB.

      Yep, it’s true. I saw the “way back when” picture before he started cutting back on the amount of metal bling he was sporting and went with cloth patches.

  11. He went BIG and not it not only bit him in the ass, but it chewed his entire ass off, for all to see in it’s glory.
    He’ll really never be able to show his face in public again.

    You asked for it, Ron, you got it. TOYOTA!!!!

    /I’m old
    //$3,000 for a frecking new car, damn

  13. Was a bit leery of the FB site’s request for me to remove my post, but I’m very glad to see the organization did the honorable thing, and did it expeditiously. Hopefully they’ll do a full poser-purge as they reform.

    1. I believe I either read it on their page as a reply or I read it here, they’re going to regroup and require SF-180 for all.
      Something like that.

      1. Except:

        Lost in fire. No, not St Louis. House fire.

        Need more time. Wife packed it away somewhere.

        Lost in hurricane.

        Was in Hawaii. Lava flow got it.

        Dog ate it.

        6. Honest… I ran out of gas. I… I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

          1. And you’re a 106 miles to Chicago, you’ve got a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and you’re wearing…
            Sunglasses !!!

  14. Maybe these groups should try looking at a nice, yellowed and faded, DD214 now and then when anyone claims he served in VN and is sporting every award and medal except the archery badge. In any event, these places usually do not have one and only one phony SOB. Hell, Vinnie the Vest here was el presidente! For a good time behind the dumpster, the APPROVED stamp is yours.

      1. Of course there is, just below in precedence of the coveted Expert Bayonett Badge.

        1. the Archery and Bayonet Badges are just below the Clean Plate Badge in precedence but right above the No Skid Marks Badge.

          1. But the highly coveted and rarely awarded Precious Metals Recovery Expert Badge beats them all. That brass on the firing line ain’t gonna police itself.

      2. Damn, who knew. I am definitely missing some bling. As old as I am, I should have had an opportunity to qualify. But in my Army days everybody wasn’t on the hunt for more crap to pin on your uniform. Even combat veterans with over four years of service only had two rows of ribbons and a few badges. My former battalion XO major with a MOH only had three rows for his fifteen years of service with the 82nd and the 5th SFG(A).

          1. Charles Q. Williams. There is an SFA chapter named for him; I think it is the one in Charlotte, NC. He has the longest MOH citation I have ever read. You can find it online in the MOH website. When I served with him I never even knew what he did in RVN; he never talked about it and I spent 3 days in a jeep with him driving around Holland arranging for the re-enactment of the Allied Airborne invasion of Holland in WWII.

    2. I have the original white copy from DEROS for seperation at Ft Lewis. Still white.

  16. He had me convinced with all those patches.

    Everyone knows VN SOF Vets always adorn themselves with a ridiculous amount of after market patches.

    LEGIT!

    1. Everyone knows VN SOF Vets always adorn themselves with a ridiculous amount of after market patches.

      Gee …. my dad doesn’t have a vest; neither does he wear SF ball caps nor bling.

      He must not be a real SF RVN vet ….

      (^_^)

  17. According to the video, “Stuffer” had been on an “Honor Flight” for Viet Nam vets, which really ticks me off to no end.

    I would think he could be prosecuted for a financial gain since he lied about his Viet Nam service and as a result, got to go on the flight and in the process, took a true Viet Nam vet’s chance.

    I’m proud of my fellow cheesehead vets for booting this old, moldy piece of “chatter” out of their group.

    Last year, a VSO Chapter just about a 1/2 hour down the road from me, booted a phony Navy SEAL from their group who was their Post Commander and he even was the Wisconsin State Provost for that VSO.

    They booted his ass out from that position also.

    These groups NEED to do way better job vetting than what they are doing.

    Thanks for Wausau WAWO Channel 9 for putting this out to the public.

    Enjoy you notoriety Ron Worthey from
    Wausau & Waupaca Wisconsin, you piece of Scheiße!!

    1. Speaking of financial gain, I wonder how much a hand sewn patch work quilt is worth? I have seen some sell for hundreds of dollars.

      Ron needs to return that quilt to the Ladies up at Medford who put a lot of time and effort into it.

    2. This is why I wont touch most veteran organizations. A few bad apples fuck it up for everyone. If they would do their homework up front and in the case of the VFW keep out the not so honorable discharges this (and all the crooked bingo games that is like a national epidemic) would mostly go away.

  19. Also gave their prime sponsor Wausau Harley an aw shit moment. Maybe someday people will check on these scumbags before throwing money at them. Well done Jonn.

    2. He should inVEST in a new VEST without all that flotsam & jetsam all over it.

  21. Since Ron Worthey was first exposed, I have been in contact with several members of the SoH, supporters of the SoH, and a couple that just knew him. His “small town” just got a lot smaller. Many of us wonder what he plans to do about his 5th Special Forces Group Tattoo. I suppose that the town that he lands in, when he tucks tail and runs, will have someone that can ink over it for him. Maybe tattoo a big porta john over it, to show where he put his honesty.

  22. Ron Worthey Not a Green Beret just returned my call to let me know that he will be having that 5th Group Tattoo covered up most ricky tic. He is really feeling it today. Learning just how badly he screwed up.

    1. Right Frankie. I’ll believe it when I see the video. Or I can save him some money and bring my belt sander over. Leopards don’t change their spots, he’ll be running a new scam within a year, his kind is addicted to the atta boys.

    2. All I’ll say to Ron Worthey the BOGUS Green Beret is DEEDS, NOT WORDS.

  23. Talk about sticking your tit in the wringer…
    Ol’ Worthless Ron here just gave a command performance at it !!!!!!!
    He won’t be able to drive around Wausau without everybody pointing at him saying something like. “Oh look, there goes Douche Ronnie Worthless and his fake Green Beret !!!
    I think that if he goes to a bar in that town someone will kick his ass for him…
    Ron Worthy looked the part, played the part and after fooling a lot of people for a long time, got caught………
    Well; bye…….

  24. The proverbial lights were turned on and ROn Worthey scurried like a cockroach. I wonder just where he thinks he can slither off to now? after all, THE INTERNET IS FOREVER.

    1. He’ll go to Floriduh and start all over again as a fake SEAL.

      He’ll have lots of company and will hardly be noticed as something out of the unusual.

    1. By my count, at least 3 did, that is how he ended up in the TAH spotlight.

  26. RON WORTHEY got caught DORKING THE STOLEN VALOR SQUEAKHOLE.

    Enjoy the fame… COCKSUCKER!

  29. What this asshat really needs is a big tat from Tyrone’s Double Entendre Tattoo Shop. You know, the one which reads “I’m Not Worthy”

  30. Welcome to your life of infamy, toad. Do you have enough room on your vest for just one more patch? If so, may I suggest the world famous PoS PATCH. Fess up and go away if you have any honor.

  31. It isn’t hard for any candidate desiring to join these groups to produce a DD-214 Lost it ? file for another.Questions on arrival of the “hero” and his stories ? go FOIA . This idiot had ALL the stigmata of a Stolen Valor disgraceful phony with the classic vest, beret and mouth opening overtime to anyone who’d listen. So why didn’t anyone check? Maybe everyone in the association ought to “produce the goods”and clean up their organization. Beware of what you’ll find.

    1. Sir, by my count, at least 3 did (local legit vets), that is how he ended up in the TAH spotlight.
