The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Michael Thomas Hockensmith<\/a>, who claims he is a highly decorated veteran who was wounded in a war.\u00a0 He claims to have received the Purple Heart for being wounded.<\/p>\n

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

Hockensmith uses the Purple Heart \/ wounded in war \/ disabled veteran claims to solicit money on GoFundMe<\/a> and Facebook Fundraising<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hockensmith claims that he helps veterans and has an organization that solicits donations in this regard.<\/p>\n

Hockensmith also displays many awards and letters on this website, allegedly signed by notable politicians \u2013 Senator Mitch McConnell and President Trump. Here is a \u201cCitation of Valor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hockensmith’s military records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.<\/p>\n

Hockensmith was in the Navy Reserve and it is unclear whether he was on active duty beyond his time in boot camp at Great Lakes.\u00a0 His records show no service in Vietnam, which was the only “war” he could have participated in.\u00a0 Even then, he came into the service too late as they were pulling troops out of Vietnam.<\/p>\n

He has no documented Purple Heart and that’s a problem since he uses that claim to solicit donations.<\/p>\n
