Frank Visconi showed up with the Marine Corps League color guard wearing his unearned Staff Sergeant rank, Bronze Star Medal, a Purple Heart and Combat Action Ribbon. <\/p>\n<p>We first wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=41610\">Frank in 2014<\/a>, he soon afterward joined the Dutch Rudder Club and tried to shut us down, a useless endeavor. He took his phony certificates and valor thievery to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=43498\">6th Circuit Court<\/a>, which ruled that he was stealing valor;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although Visconi offered a large volume of evidence in support of his request for a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, the documents that he provided, including the April 25, 1969 letter from William Kenneflick Jones, id. at 116, do not satisfy the applicable regulatory criteria. And, significantly, the citations that Visconi provided for the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, purportedly issued to him in 1969, do more to undermine his claim than to support it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Visconi couldn&#8217;t get the outcome that he desired from the courts, so he just pinned it back on his uniform, apparently. Our tipster says that he told the color guard with whom they were associating, and Frank wasn&#8217;t with them at the event later that day.<\/p>\n<p>Visconi was indeed a Marine and he served in Vietnam as a supply clerk;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=41617\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41617\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-41617\" alt=\"Frank Joseph Visconti DD214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Frank-Joseph-Visconti-DD214-232x300.jpg\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Frank-Joseph-Visconti-DD214-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Frank-Joseph-Visconti-DD214-257x333.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Frank-Joseph-Visconti-DD214.jpg 1239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles sends us the above photo which he claims was taken September 15th at a &#8220;Welcome &hellip; <a title=\"Frank Visconi is back on the phony pony\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74827\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Frank Visconi is back on the phony pony<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
