\"March-Poser-Rack\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

You might remember a few months ago the story of our buddy Bob Massie at MyServicePride<\/a> who occasionally advertises with us for his items that you can buy with your military awards on them. This Thomas Robert Johnson fellow tried to order a coffee mug or something with the above “rack” and Bob sent the dude to our other buddy, Taco Bell, a retired Marine Corps pilot. Taco contacted Johnson by phone and you can hear the phone calls at this link<\/a>. Johnson claimed that he was a full bird Marine Colonel with 31 years of service, and that he’d been a POW in Vietnam. Well, it turns out that his records contain a lot of admirable stuff and this may be the worst case of needless embellishment known to man;<\/p>\n

He had participated in the evacuations of Americans from Saigon and Phnom Penh, Cambodia at the end of our involvement in Southeast Asia and he earned his Combat Action Ribbon, but he didn’t spend 31 years in the Corps. He had 8 years in and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant. His “rack” contains a lot admirable stuff, but no where near the amount of stuff he wanted to decorate his car dealer office;<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, he sells cars, but not according to his LinkedIn Profile<\/a>, so he hasn’t learned his lesson about lying yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
