Mr Gerry Conway is another dude who likes to enthral gullible audiences into believing his military fairytales. Conway has spent the past few years telling Guelph, Ontario school kids of his exploits and then being splattered with piss outside of a US Marine Base in San Diego, California.

His obvious and frankly ridiculous uniform embellishments prompted us to contact our US counterparts in order to initiate a Freedom Of Information Act request to secure Conway’s military career file including the DD Form 214. The DD 214 is the capstone military service document, as it represents the complete, verified record of a service member’s time in the military (Active and Reserve), awards and medals, and other pertinent service information, such as highest rank/rate and pay grade held on active duty, total military combat service and/or overseas service.

The results will determine if, in fact, he was a member of the US Army, served in Vietnam with the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division, awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valour and the Purple Heart which recognizes an individual wounded in action.

Additionally, the documents will prove his entitlement to lawfully wear the RANGER tab, US parachute wings, Air Assault wings (established in 1974 without retroactivity), Canadian Parachutist Wings and, what he likely believes to be British Parachutists Wings (however, he’s wearing the hat badge of the UK Parachute Regiment, as he likely doesn’t know the difference)

Mr Conway and his claim of being a US Army soldier leaving a US Marine Base to face 1000 protesters is nothing but a fabrication meant to deceive his gullible audience in a sick sympathy play!

Veterans take mental health issues seriously and many fight the stigma of PTSD on a daily basis yet, Mr Conway perpetuates lies and mistruths that lead to the view that all returning service members are damaged goods…

Please follow the link below for the rest of their case on this clown.  Another fine job by our brothers north of the border.

Mark N.S. HALDEN III

We have Senior Chief Don Shipley’s confirmation that Mr Mark Halden, who has been known to wander around St Catharines, Ontario wearing choker whites trading war stories for free drinks, was never a SEAL. (RECORDED HISTORY)

 

Halden was born in 1955 so, it’s most unlikely that he was a 18 – 20 year old USN Naval Flight Officer /F4 Phantom back-seater flying in the Vietnam War. The USN stopped flying combat missions in 1973 although, an aircraft carrier remained on station until 1975. (SIMPLE ARITHMETIC)

His claim of being blowed up in Beirut in 1983 doesn’t really matter either as he was never there. But, he has no problem insulting the service and sacrifice of those who were there.

Victims of the Marine Corps Barracks bombing Beruit Lebanon 23 Oct 1983.

Another fake Beirut Veteran?  How many of these clowns have we exposed so far?  If you were in Beirut I either know you or know somebody who does.  None of us know any Mark N.S. HALDEN III being deployed to Beirut.

 

From a SVC Supporter

Mr Halden was encouraged by SVC to stop his military masquerading, apologize for his reprehensible actions, surrender the bogus uniform / insignia for appropriate disposal action and just fade away…

On the morning of 3 Dec 2018, Halden emailed us a series of images, confirmed that uniform / insignia would be sent to the US Consulate in Toronto, and committed to never wearing any uniform again.

SVC will follow the words of US President Ronald Reagan from 1986 “Trust, but verify” /  “Doveryai no proveryai”

Outstanding work by our Canadian comrades.

The folks at Military Phony send us their work on this Peter Thomas Helton fellow.

It is difficult to make out, but it appears that in the photo above that Helton has the 75th Ranger Regiment on his left arm, but oddly, no jump wings or air assault badge. He also appears to have a 1st ID patch on his right arm.

Helton claims he was in the US Army for 8 years, as a “scout sniper.”

He claimed to have lived near a lot of Army bases.

He also claims that he was the recipient of two (2) Purple Hearts.

He also has a RANGER plate on his jeep.

A search for his military records consistently comes up with one thing – a null result.

We think that he served in an Indiana State level military unit.  That said, if Helton would have gone to Army sniper school, or had any Ranger schools, it would have shown up on his NPRC records.

Helton is in the security industry, as depicted above in the photo.  We see he was charged with a felony a while back but we are still looking for a conviction on record which would preclude him from carrying a firearm.

Maybe there are some more records out there somewhere, we just can’t find any official military records to back up any of his nonsense.  One would think a guy with two Purple Hearts would want to clear this all up.

 

As our thoughts turn to turkeys today, remember that not everybody can spend time with their families.

You may recall Samuel Shruhl, who we wrote about here: https://www.azuse.cloud/?p=57497

Well, rumor has it that Sam was just arrested in Minnesota after fleeing Texas in a truck that he stole – allegedly.

Sure enough, we confirmed that he’s staying in the pokey courtesy of Todd County Jail and the Minnesota taxpayers.

As we count our blessings today give this a little bit of thought and — uh, pass the mash potatoes, please — I can’t help but wonder what Sam will be having today.
