A phony vet named Mark Mulcahy was sentenced to four years in prison plus three years parole for 24 years of fakery, according to the Glenwood Springs Post Independent<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Mulcahy apologized to 9th Judicial District Court Judge Daniel Petre, to the Garfield County Jail, to the people he\u2019s hurt, to his girlfriend, and finally, he apologized to the Glenwood Springs Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, of which he became the commander in 2004 under the assumed identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, see, he didn’t just pretend to be a veteran, he pretend to be someone else who was a veteran;<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Mulcahy pretended to be David Keith Anderson, also known as David Keith Ronayne, for more than two decades. Mulcahy said Thursday that he assumed Anderson\u2019s identity to help Anderson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to violate anyone,\u201d Mulcahy said as he addressed the court. \u201cI knew David Anderson. We did it as a favor to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mulcahy said the reason for the situation was that the real Anderson wanted to leave the country and didn\u2019t want his family to be able to find him.<\/p>\n

According to past Post Independent reports, the real Anderson lived in California for most of the 24 years Mulcahy used his identity. However, Anderson reportedly died in a bicycle accident in 2006.<\/p>\n

Anderson served in the U.S. Army from 1973-74, but Mulcahy, pretending to be Anderson, claimed he served in the Marine Corps. Mulcahy was able to obtain a \u201cDD-214\u201d form in Anderson\u2019s name, which is issued on separation from military service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI learned something while trying to find more about this story; when you do a search on the internet for “fake vet”, sometimes you run across fake vets that are fake cross-dressing veterinarians<\/a> so you might have to narrow your search parameters a bit.<\/p>\n
