Average NCO sent this obituary<\/a> to Don Shipley a few years ago;<\/p>\n

\"Danny<\/a><\/p>\n

Danny retired from the United States Navy as a Chief Warrant Officer 4th Class. He proudly served the country he loved in Vietnam on Seal Team 3 (Class 151). During his career in the Navy he received 7 Purple Hearts, 3 Bronze Stars and 2 Silver Stars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mary says she filed for his records in March 2012 and she just got them back this week;<\/p>\n

So, it looks like he did retire as a Warrant Officer WO4, but there are no Purple Hearts, no SEAL Training, no Bronze or Silver Stars. He was aboard the USS John Marshall during a time frame when the ballistic-missile attack submarine<\/a> was in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean;<\/p>\n

On 13 December 1966, John Marshall started her first major overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding. The overhaul was completed in April 1968. After the post-overhaul shakedown, she loaded ballistic missiles at Charleston, South Carolina, and in September 1968 began her eighteenth deterrent patrol. She conducted her 19th through 25th deterrent patrols from Holy Loch between October 1968 and June 1970. In June 1970, she became a unit of Submarine Squadron 16 and began operations from Rota, Spain.<\/p>\n

She conducted her 26th through 37th deterrent patrols from Rota. She was awarded her first Meritorious Unit Commendation as a result of an operation conducted in March 1971 that demonstrated the effectiveness and dependability of the fleet ballistic missile system. In June 1973, she returned to New London, Connecticut, for a dependents cruise, then conducted two deterrent patrols from Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Danny was half-a-world away from Vietnam. Legacy.com<\/a> has linked to his phony medals so that makes this particularly odious. From Don Shipley;<\/p>\n

A TOTAL PHONY in every respect, what bothers me the most is that when clicking the “Purple Heart” link, it appears that Legacy.com and Ancestry.com are linking obituaries to their websites. As is the case with Newman, his UGLY FACE is posted right next to James Arness, “Gun Smoke actor,” and decorated WWII vet… <\/p>\n

It seems for all eternity and left unchecked that all phony obituaries, and there are many, will be posted without question as hero’s… THAT SUCKS…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
