The folks at Military Phonies<\/a> send us their work on this Thomas Beaumont<\/a> fellow. He claims to be the most decorated soldier of the 1968 Tet Offensive with his four Bronze Star Medals, his Purple Heart and some sort valor award from the South Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

Yeah, he has four bronze stars – four bronze service stars on his Vietnam Service Medal denoting the campaigns that happened during the war while he was in the country. His VSM would look like this;<\/p>\n

Even if we gave him a pass for being ignorant about the four bronze service stars, though, there’s still the Purple Heart claim. His assignments show him as a patient in Japan at the end of his Vietnam tour beginning on October 11th – October 15th. Ten days later, October 25th, he’s back on the block, out on the street growing his hair long. That makes me think that his stay in the hospital was due to an illness and not a war injury, especially since he was an ammo records clerk. Either way, there’s no Purple Heart in his records. Scotty tried to tell him about the 4 Bronze Stars, but he wasn’t hearing of it.<\/p>\n
