<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nYou might remember Robert Guidi who we first wrote about in December, 2015<\/a>. He pretended to be a Ranger and Special Forces soldier in Vietnam. He claimed that he had been a POW for nine months, also that he had earned two Purple Hearts and a Silver Star and he used those stories to gain financially to the tune of tens-of-thousands-of-dollars. He had actually been a postal clerk in Vietnam and hadn’t been wounded or captured. Well, he admitted his guilt in court yesterday. From the Daily Record<\/a>;<\/p>\n Robert Guidi pleaded guilty before Superior Court Judge Paul Armstrong in Morristown to two counts of theft by deception and one count of violating the state’s Stolen Valor Act by purposely deceiving the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation and the Morris County Veterans Service Office about his military career so that he could receive goods and benefits.<\/p>\n Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Rappa has recommended that Guidi be sentenced on May 19 to three years in prison and repay the North American Deck and Railing Association the $31,919 it paid for labor and materials to build a deck on his home. Guidi already has returned the hunting bow he received in appreciation of what turned out to be a false military record.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n After his arrest in January 2016, Guidi spent more than eight months in the Morris County jail until he was released while the charges were pending. Besides making $31,919 in restitution, he also will have to pay a $1,000 fine for violating the Stolen Valor Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
