Apparently, a charity felt duped and lied to about a woman claiming to be a Marine combat veteran. Then again, it comes down to a matter of who said what to whom.<\/p>\n

\n

Veterans donated to a woman who said she was a Marine combat veteran dying of cancer. It was a lie<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A prominent veterans group is refunding donations it collected for a woman accused of falsely claiming to be a Marine Corps combat veteran with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star medal for valor who was suffering from Stage IV lung cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, no monies were received by this individual, HunterSeven Foundation did not raise funds for this individual specifically, and any donations that were a result after sharing this individual\u2019s story were refunded to their original form of payment through our online fundraising platform,\u201d the\u00a0HunterSeven Foundation<\/a>\u00a0said in a statement to Task & Purpose. \u201cWe are disheartened by this circumstance, but will not allow it to derail us from our mission and helping those in need.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then…<\/p>\n

There was a DD-214 floating around that supported the claim but the Marine Corps had no record of her service.<\/p>\n

The Marine Corps does not have any records for a \u201cSarah Cavanaugh\u201d or for a Marine with the Social Security Number listed on the DD-214, said Yvonne Carlock, a spokeswoman for Manpower & Reserve Affairs.<\/p>\n

A Facebook group run by female Marine veterans worked with the HunterSeven Foundation to see if they could verify Cavanaugh\u2019s service as a Marine, said one of the group\u2019s administrators. Members instantly noticed discrepancies in Cavanaugh\u2019s comments to media outlets about where and when she deployed along with problems with the awards she was wearing on her uniform.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Cavanaugh told Task & Purpose she never told HunterSeven that she was a Marine who is suffering from cancer. She also said that she never sent the charity a DD-214 as proof that she had served in the Marine Corps. \u201cI do not intend to accept any donations from any charities,\u201d Cavanaugh said in a phone interview with Task & Purpose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s certainly a lot of he-said\/she-said in regard to this story, but it sounds like a lot of people were under the impression that Cavanaugh was a Marine Combat Veteran.<\/p>\n

But, here’s the best part…<\/p>\n

When he confronted her about these issues, she claimed to be the victim of a Marine Corps conspiracy to erase her identity because she had shot her commanding officer, Schueman said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that happens a lot.<\/p>\n

No need to explain further… Shut up! You had me at “shot my Commanding Officer.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
