<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nRobin sends us a link to High Plains Daily<\/a> which reports that someone let Dick Stoops on an Honor Flight to DC and greeted by his Senator, Jerry Moran. We got Stoops’ records three years ago<\/a> when the Kansas National Guard was going to induct him into their Hall of Fame. We stopped that and the Kansas City Star<\/a> did a story about our adventures. The family told the Star that Stoops was dying and in the hospital because of his exposure. Now this;<\/p>\n The opportunity for Stoops travel to the nation\u2019s capital was made possible by volunteers and donors acting through Honor Flight \u2013 a nonprofit organization created solely to honor America\u2019s veterans. During their trip to D.C., veterans have the opportunity to visit the memorials built in their honor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stoops had told everyone that he had been in the 187th Regimental Combat Team and had three combat parachute jumps during the war in Korea. It turns out that Stoops didn’t arrive in Korea until the war was over, and had never made a combat jump. He was assigned to a Service Company in the 187th. In fact there were only two combat jumps in Korea, both made by the 187th. Notice in the above picture that he’s wearing a Purple Heart patch – that’s a lie, he has no Purple Heart.<\/p>\n Dick Stoops’ most egregious act was when he went back in the National Guard after the Vietnam War and used his vastly inflated career to convince someone to let him back in based on his lies. Apparently, all of that stuff you see him wearing at the link is what he had convinced someone in the Guard that he earned – the reason they were putting him in their Hall of Fame. And since he’s rocking that Purple Heart patch, I’m guessing he’s back to his old tricks hoping everyone forgot his publicity a few years back.<\/p>\n They should have given that Honor Flight trip to someone who didn’t lie about their service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
