Maybe he came in second place during the Vietnam War. So who won the Gold Medal for the war?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My wife and I sent in an application that had the false medals on it, I did not know they were false medals,&#8221; said Griffin. &#8220;They are saying that I could not have earned those medals in a year. Ask anyone, they will tell you Vietnam tours last a year.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He&#8217;s right in that regard. One guy I was checking on (can&#8217;t remember his name now, forgive me) earned three Silver Stars in three months in Vietnam for three separate incidences. So yeah, the time period in Vietnam has nothing to do with someone being phony.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the Navy says his only personal award was a letter of appreciation, so, you know, that&#8217;s as good as 3 BSMs and a &#8220;Silver Medal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Funny how he says &#8220;My wife and I&#8230;&#8221; so eventually he&#8217;ll blame her for the claims on the application. No phony ever blamed his wife, have they?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/eplayer.clipsyndicate.com\/embed\/iframe?aspect_ratio=16x9&#038;auto_start=0&#038;pf_id=9319&#038;rel=3&#038;show_title=0&#038;va_id=5065711&#038;volume=8&#038;windows=1\" width=\"425\" height=\"330\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suwanneedemocrat.com\/jasper\/x493469450\/White-Springs-man-arrested-on-five-counts-of-fraud\">Another link<\/a> from AverageNCO;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to WSPD, evidence of fraud on the part of Griffin was taken to the State Attorney\u2019s Office and then Judge Andrew Decker signed off on the five warrants on Wednesday, April 16, after finding probable cause.<\/p>\n<p>After confirming with HCSO 911 dispatch that Griffin had five counts of uttering false instruments against him, he was placed under arrest and transported to the Hamilton County Jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At that link, Joe schools us on the charges in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AverageNCO sends us a link to an article from WTXL about Joe Edward Griffin who applied &hellip; <a title=\"Joe Edward Griffin; job application phony in Florida\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=45542\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Joe Edward Griffin; job application phony in Florida<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45545,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45542","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=45542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/45545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
