Last week Jonn posted about Waverley \u201cWave\u201d Reynar<\/a>. We know much more about him now that we didn’t know then. We know that his deceit and lies go back decades. We know that exposing his lies has hurt many good people that only want to help injured veterans. We know that his lies have hurt the real Marines that he claimed a brotherhood with, those that he pretended to have shed blood with. Most of all he has hurt Marines that were injured in Afghanistan and Iraq, the guys who are desperately trying to find their path in a changed world. They looked up to him. They admired him. They saw in him an elder brother, one who had been where they were at and found his way out of the darkness. They saw in him a father figure, a mentor and, last but not least, someone who understood what it was like to be mortally wounded and survive. Someone who had endured and triumphed. Someone who had not only lived but had a full life after the suffering. He gave them hope.<\/p>\n

I have gotten to know a few of the people affected by his lies in the last week. Some of these same people were mocked and ridiculed on this site for supporting Waverley. We have forgotten that these people were not just names on the internet. We forgot that these are the people that we have talked so often about. These are the real victims of Stolen Valor. These are not people who bought into a lie for financial gain like those friends of Phil Moncross or AJ Dikens. These are real people who are veterans or people who support veterans. These are the people who believed a lie out of love and devotion. They were hoodwinked and conned, and I know you can\u2019t cheat an honest man, but I also now know lies are not the same as being cheated. What happened here is many honest people, some veterans, some not, were lied to. They believed those fantastic lies because they are honest. They have a deep integrity. They have a moral compass. Waverley used those very qualities against them. We attacked his victims because they were doing what real friends do. We attacked them for not believing us right away. We attacked them for defending a friend. We ridiculed a wounded Marine veteran for having the nerve to question us. Instead of educating him and showing him the truth, we scorned him. In many ways, this week members of this site were no better than Waverley. We can and must do better.<\/p>\n

I wrote the two paragraphs above yesterday (Friday) morning. Things have come to light since then that need to be shared. <\/p>\n

Hold on to your hat folks: Waverley C. Reynar was in fact a Marine. He served from 1963 until February of 1967. There is a problem with the FOIA request, and that is why we didn\u2019t get a hit back. I am working on getting a correct FOIA requested. What I do know is this….he did not earn any personal awards in that time. No Silver Star. No Purple Hearts. No Bronze Star. He was not a diver. He was not shot in the head. He was never a Gunny. Our best information at this time indicates he was either a Corporal or Sargent. It is not believed that he served in Vietnam. HE did get stationed in Adak Alaska, that’s almost the same as Vietnam, RIght? He did enlist in the Navy as soon as he got out of the Marines. He served on several diesel subs as a cook. It would also seem the he retired from the Navy in the early \u201880s with the pay grade of E-5. What should have been good and honorable service has been ruined by lies that started almost 50 years ago. <\/p>\n

So to Mr. Reynar, I offer my apology, I said you were not a Marine and you were. That simple fact makes everything else you have done deplorable. In my opinion, you are the worst case of Stolen Valor I have ever seen. You stole services and honors from real wounded Marines. You told your lies to them knowing that they were suffering far worse than you ever had. You took all expense paid trips and travel, given to you because of your tall tales. You deprived real Wounded Warriors of those trips. I have spoken to your victims. People who took you into their homes and hearts. Good people that made you a part of their families. You may have earned the Eagle Globe and Anchor at one time in your life, but you have disgraced it with your actions. You shit on your brothers. How long will you continue to dodge the phone calls from your victims, or your \u201cfriends\u201d? How long will you continue to lie? All they are asking for is the truth, but then again that\u2019s something you haven\u2019t told in fifty years. You see Mr. Reynar, I have been witness to the pain and intense sorrow your lies have caused. Congratulations, you made Marines cry. You have continued those lies this week with your stories of injury and illness. I saw the pictures. I also decoded them. Most were taken over a year ago. You don\u2019t even have on the same clothes for pictures that were supposed to have been taken back to back. Picture numbers are hundreds apart. Yet you still try to con those that defended you. You are worse than a street thug, you use the sympathy and compassion as your weapon, not a knife or gun. <\/p>\n

This is a clear cut case of Stolen valor. He falsely claimed valor awards and profited from those claims. He was given all expense paid trips to several different states and cities. He was the guest of honor at many functions. He is a conman and a thief. I hope he is prosecuted for his crimes. There is more to this story, and I will find it all out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
