We wrote about Pekka Tapio “Peter” Pasanen<\/a> a few weeks ago when our friends at Stolen Valour-Canada<\/a> sent him to us. But, of course, because of his US awards, we had to finish the paperwork. <\/p>\n

I see that he’s claiming a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, along with a Combat Infantryman Badge and parachutist wings. Throw in some Vietnam Service stuff and I think I see a POW Medal in there.<\/p>\n

Nope and nope – he spent about three months in Basic Training at Fort Lewis, Washington, then he went AWOL and DFR (dropped from rolls-deserter). He probably lit out for Canada.<\/p>\n

Cowardly POS probably wouldn’t have gone to Vietnam anyway, given the years he joined. But he did get the NDSM…SCORE!!!<\/p>\n
