<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOur friends at Stolen Valour-Canada<\/a> send us a link to the story of Richard Fancy <\/a>who was booted from the Order of Military Merit when he was court-martialled for wearing Afghanistan and Somalia medals and parachute wings that he didn’t earn at a Remembrance Day ceremony.<\/p>\n Richard Fancy was a member of the regular forces between 1984 and 2010, when he joined the reserves with the Halifax Rifles.<\/p>\n He became a master warrant officer in the regiment and received the Order of Military Merit in October 2014, a month before the Remembrance Day incident in Halifax.<\/p>\n In May 2016, Fancy pleaded guilty at a court martial to three counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline and was reduced in rank to warrant officer and fined $300.<\/p>\n The decorations he wore improperly credited him with service in Somalia and Afghanistan and with being a paratrooper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here’s a link<\/a> to the order of Fancy’s termination.<\/p>\n Dick Fancy joins Lieutenant Colonel Deborah Miller in that dishonor. We wrote about her<\/a> back in 2014 when she was court martialed, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
