Today at about 2:10 pm Eastern Time (according to their public agenda) there will be a ceremony at the White House to honor Chaplain Emil J. Kapaun<\/a> who will be awarded his long over due Medal of Honor. Unfortunately, also attending will be Jim Edward Ferris<\/a>, the phony Korean War veteran who is the current president of the Korean War Veterans’ Association.<\/p>\n

From Syracuse.com<\/a>;<\/p>\n

When President Barack Obama awards the Medal of Honor today to an Army chaplain killed in the Korean War, Jim Ferris of Clay will be among those invited to witness the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Ferris, 81, president of the national Korean War Veterans Association, said his group was among those pushing for the nation’s highest military medal to be awarded posthumously to Father Emil J. Kapaun, a military chaplain who died as a prisoner of war 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

Ferris will be joined by surviving Korean War veterans from around the nation at 2:10 p.m. to watch President Obama present the medal to the Catholic priest’s relatives for his “extraordinary heroism” during fighting in Unsan in 1950 and after his capture as a prisoner of war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Korean War Veterans Association was unwilling to do anything about Ferris when they met behind closed doors to discuss their courses of actions, and now they’re sullying the Medal of Honor ceremony by sending Ferris who has lied his whole life about his service in Korea. I’ve emailed my phone number to Ferris so we can talk about what I got wrong about his story, and I’ve had no phone calls or emails from him since he offered to get together and talk about the issue. But he has time to steal some valor in the White House.<\/p>\n

Like I said in the initial post, he’s was fully qualified for his membership and position in the Association without telling lies and wearing medals he didn’t earn, so we have to assume that he’s only doing it for personal gratification. maybe so the 81-year-old can pick up chicks there in Syracuse.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our reader in Clay, NY who called in this tip.<\/p>\n
