Average NCO sends us a link to the latest flailing about from the Kinston free Press<\/a> on the flailing about Jeff “Rock” Harris. Now he’s provided another DD214 to them through his lawyers. If it can be believed, he was out of the Army by the time the fiasco in Mogadishu happened in October 1993;<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Harris\u2019 lawyer, Josiah J. Corrigan of Kinston\u2019s Perry, Perry & Perry law firm, emailed The Free Press what Corrigan said was Harris\u2019 DD214 form. The form \u2014 which has not officially verified \u2014 showed that Michael Jeffery Harris served in the U.S. Army from Feb. 26, 1987 through March 12, 1992, leaving the Army as a corporal. The DD214 shows he received an honorable discharge and was separated from the service as part of an early transition program.<\/p>\n

The DD214 provided by Corrigan revealed Harris received several medals in his time of service, including a Bronze Star for Valor, an Army Commendation Medal and an Overseas Service Ribbon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I’d like to know what he thinks he got a Bronze Star for Valor during that time period. The only conflicts during that period was Panama and Desert Storm and why haven’t either of those been mentioned before?<\/p>\n

In the cover letter from Corrigan addressed to Free Press Managing Editor Bryan Hanks, it states \u201cMr. Harris retracts any and all claims he made to Ms. (Free Press staff writer Jane) Moon that are not recorded in his official military service record and reflected on his DD-214.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement concludes, \u201cMr. Harris apologizes to you and Ms. Moon for any embarrassment or difficulty that this unfortunate incident has caused.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey, Harris, you didn’t screw Ms. Moon – you screwed us veterans who don’t charge out and tell fairy stories about our careers. Fuck her apology – she screwed herself by doing a half-assed job. Where’s our apology?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
