Someone sent us their work on this fellow, John Bonner Braddy, who claims that he was a Navy pilot, that he was shot down over Vietnam, that he was wounded and earned a Navy Cross. He even puts all of that on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9;<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s no record of him attending the United States Naval Academy, but when confronted, he says that’s because he attended under another name, his name before he was placed in the federal Witness Protection Program. The Witness Protection Program folks messed up, because, he was John Braddy back in high school in North Carolina;<\/p>\n

Braddy is quick to stand up in front of audiences and wow them with tales of his exploits in the skies over Vietnam;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to his records he’s never even seen the skies over Vietnam. He spent a year on active duty in the Army, then he spent two years in the Army Reserves until he joined the Navy Reserves. He never went to Vietnam, he wasn’t a pilot, he was enlisted. His only award is a Good Conduct Medal;<\/p>\n
