Desiree Burgess, 38, has just finished removing a pan of bubbling lasagna from the oven on a recent Thursday afternoon. Her infant son, Desmond, is sleeping peacefully in his playpen while her husband, Shedrick, a veteran and former Navy Seal, greets guests with a smile when they come to the door.<\/p>\n
This scene of domestic tranquility could easily be found in any town across the United States, as families gather to share dinner in the comfort of their warm homes.<\/p>\n
But Ms. Burgess and her family are homeless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As you’ve probably guessed by now, Shedrick isn’t a Navy SEAL, according to Captain Larry Bailey. So at this point I’m wondering if he’s even a veteran.<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> Amy writes to tell us that she contacted the folks at 27 East (dot com) and at her urging, they checked with poor Shedrick and he blamed his wife for the SEAL claim. He admits that he was in the Navy but not a SEAL. The “journalists” (and I use “journalists” in it’s loosest interpretation of the term) said they’ll be correcting the article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AverageNCO sent a link yesterday about this poor homeless family headed by former Navy SEAL Shedrick … Shedrick Burgess the homeless SEAL (UPDATED)<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28017\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
