<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe other day, we talked about Ed Cameron<\/a>, the VFW post commander who had been telling tales for years about his Purple Heart and because of it, the community put his visage on a bus honoring Purple Heart recipients, but it turns out that he never made it out of basic training let alone deployed to any combat zone. Well, Toasty Coastie sends us a link from the Herald-Tribune<\/a> which reports that now his likeness will be removed from the bus, you know, that stuff isn’t free and someone has to pay for it, probably taxpayers;<\/p>\n The bus features pictures of seven Purple Heart recipients, but accusations have been raised about a 62-year-old man who says he was wounded in Vietnam and rose to the rank of major in the Marines.<\/p>\n “He’s an imposter, and we’re taking the picture off,” County Commissioner Melony Bell said. “I can’t imagine anyone doing this.”<\/p>\n For years, Ed Cameron told his fellow VFW and American Legion members in Lake Wales that he received two Purple Hearts after he was shot while members of a platoon he commanded were killed during battle, according to members of the Lake Wales VFW.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cameron also claimed a Bronze Star and a Silver Star, but it was the Purple Heart that got him a spot on the bus. See, the Supreme Court said that this was a victimless crime, but are you going to tell me that there aren’t victims in this case when someone has to pony up cash for the work to remove Cameron’s face from the bus. How soon do you think that community will lay out money for another project to honor veterans while this incident is fresh in their minds?<\/p>\n We’ve had other incidents where phonies’ names had to be removed from memorials, bodies had to be removed from veterans’ cemeteries, head stones had to be altered, all because of lying liars. That costs money, so there are victims of the fraudsters. Victims who will never be compensated because prosecutors won’t defend their constituents’ right to be protected from these criminals.<\/p>\n Worst of all, every veteran becomes suspect because of this. Whichever VFW post allowed this ass monkey, Cameron, to be their commander without any documentation should pay the community back for their incompetence and to save the way that community sees their veterans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
