I hate these, I mean, I really hate these. Someone sent this to us a few months ago about this Frank George Clayton for whom someone set up a tin cup <\/a>in order to pay for his Burial expenses.<\/p>\n

\"Clayton<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Frank served our country in the United States Army for 16 years and 6 months. He served in Vietnam where. He received 7 Purple Hearts, 3 bronze star with valor, Vietnam Service medal, and many more medals and commendations. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the GoFundMe site, Frank passed about three weeks ago, but nothing in that paragraph above is true. He was in the Army for four years, all four years were after the Vietnam War, there are no Purple Hearts, no Bronze Star Medals. He has the National Defense Service Medal because he joined two months before the eligibility period ended for that medal. It looks like he had a fairly good career as a commo guy in Army Security Agency units and he had a parachutist badge and served in the 82d Airborne Division. <\/p>\n

I know I’m going to catch flak for posting this one, especially from the Facebook people, but what I want is to stop posting these damn things. I want people to come clean with their families before they pass on, so I don’t have to be the bad guy. Frank, here didn’t need to rattle a tin cup for burial expenses, the VA would have covered it for his family, so there was no need to go out like this.<\/p>\n

I’m becoming a softie in my old age, I have a pile of FOIAs on people who only barely qualify as liars and phonies – but I just can’t bring myself to post them and it’s people like Frank, here, that make it so hard. The GoFundMe thing used to say Frank was a POW, too, that’s what initially brought him to our attention, but I guess someone confronted them and they edited that out while we were waiting for the FOIA.<\/p>\n

ADDED:<\/strong> Here is the fake DD214 that he’s been lying about for years and his actual DD214;<\/p>\n
