Someone sent us their work on this Fellow, Russell Jeffers from Bountiful, Utah. He has authored a self-help book Bricks of Trials<\/a>. He claims that he had been a POW when he was captured during a secret mission to North Korea. He awarded himself a POW Medal as well as a Defense Meritorious Service Medal, a Meritorious Service Medal and his highest award, the Soldiers Medal with a “Valor” device.<\/p>\n

He also flaunts Iraq and Afghanistan campaign medals as well as a Combat Field Medical Badge.<\/p>\n

He was in the Army for six years as a 91D operating room medic, including a tour at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. No overseas assignments, no combat deployments to either Iraq or Afghanistan. There is no “Valor” device for a Soldiers Medal. It’s a valor medal all by itself – he doesn’t have the Soldiers Medal, anyway. He was never a POW. He left the Army as a specialist (E-4) not a Sergeant (E-5).<\/p>\n
