Someone sent us some stuff about this guy Ben Brown is in Washington state, who was mentioned by his grandfather, Don Tishman, about his organization, Rotary Assisting Veterans Education (RAVE) in a local newspaper, The Independent<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter our country was attacked on September 11, 2001, these young men and women stepped forward to serve,\u201d said Tishman. \u201cThey volunteered to put on a uniform knowing the dangers that come from military service.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of their courage, we have gone nearly 11 years without another successful terrorist attack on American soil.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Tishman\u2019s grandson Ben Brown returned home disabled after serving six years as a Navy Seal in Iraq and Afghanistan, Brown began counseling other veterans, talking with Tishman about the severe lack of resources available to help returnees. It is required that veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome be seen within 14 days, said Tishman. However, with funding slashed and an increasing numbers of veterans returning home, it can take up to a year before a veteran\u2019s file is reviewed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, someone didn’t think that Brown was a SEAL, so they sent off to the Navy Department for his records;<\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

And apparently, he wasn’t even in the Navy and they searched his records by Social Security Number. As far as we know, Don Tishman doesn’t know that his grandson is a fake, so don’t start calling RAVE. Apparently, Ben is in no way connected to them. As a backup, we checked with Don Shipley just to make sure Brown wasn’t a SEAL, so he couldn’t claim that his records were hidden from the public because he’s a Secret Squirrel.<\/p>\n

But, word on the street is that Ben is getting a pension from the VA, so this would be a good one for our regular VA Office of the Inspector General to investigate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
