Someone sent us this photo with no information to find his records, but he weaves a great tale;<\/p>\n
Met this guy Memorial Day 2013 in Salisbury National Cemetery, North Carolina. He looked wrong. He didn’t have a name tag, no hat (cover), ribbons not in any order, and he had on black patent leather shoes instead of white. I approached him, and he had no ties to the area – he said he just decided to just stop by. I believe he said he was from the Kentucky\/Tennessee area. He said he retired 2009 from the Navy after 40 years. He claimed service in Vietnam through Afghanistan. He had the ribbons, but they weren’t in order of precedence and his ribbon bars had spacing, which the Navy doesn’t do. His shoulder boards indicated Lt. (j.g.) (O-2), but he verbally claimed Lt. Com. (O-4). It seemed odd he was only wearing O-2 rank after 40 years. Also, with only retiring in 2009, why are all his ribbons out of order and his shoes the wrong color? With his ribbons, he claims Bronze Star and Purple Heart awards. He also said he still trains\/teaches at the Navy Base at Little Creek and at Coronado.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
