<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nSomeone dropped off a link to WVEC<\/a> on our Facebook page about this Brent Henry fellow who conned some Virginia Beach area veterans’ charities into believing that he’d been wounded in Afghanistan as a Marine. He had planned on walking from Virginia Beach to Arlington Cemetery to raise awareness for PTS with his service dog that had been given to him by Wags For Warriors of Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n “He claimed that he was something he wasn’t, said that he had been places that he hadn’t been,” said Adam Mayo, founder of Wags for Warriors of Virginia.<\/p>\n “He named this dog that he had after supposed service dog that he had — a working dog — in the military that apparently died working in the military,” explained Mayo. “Come to find out the only place he was ever deployed was Japan. He never saw combat. He was never in the desert. He was never in a helicopter crash like he told us he was.”<\/p>\n Mayo told 13News Now he found out about discrepancies in Henry’s story when he started looking into the Marine’s background. He said Henry would not provide a copy of his service record, including discharge information.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n [Retired Navy lieutenant Jason Redman, the Founder and CEO of Wounded Wear] said he was able to see Henry’s DD214 (Separation Documents) which showed he was not discharged honorably as he claimed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n All of the signs were there, guys – he wouldn’t show his DD214 and he wouldn’t go to the VA when he needed them. My DD214 is everywhere – whenever someone, anyone asks for it, I send it to them. A real veteran won’t even flinch when asked for it.<\/p>\n Anyway, Mr. Henry has been charged with Obtaining Money by False Pretense in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. He’s making an appearance in court on July 24th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
