WDRB.com reports<\/a> that Kentucky firefighters are outraged over a man that claimed he was a fireman at Ground Zero the day of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

Kentucky firefighters are outraged after they say a Louisville man made unsubstantiated claims of being a Ground Zero fireman who pulled bodies from the rubble on Sept. 11.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Feltz — a.k.a. Michael — says he worked for Lexington and Georgetown fire departments at the time of the terrorist attacks and retired in 2012.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Not only was he not in the Lexington Fire Department system, he was nowhere in Fayette County, Lexington urban government system,” Lexington Fire Department Battalion Chief Marc Bramlage said. “If we have someone going around not representing us in a good light, that does damage to the department and it also does damage to the profession in general.”<\/p>\n

In the GSN interview, Feltz told wild stories about some of the most iconic images from the attacks. He claims to be one of the three firefighter hoisting the American flag in the midst of the rubble at Ground Zero.<\/p>\n

Those firefighters have long been identified as George Johnson, Dan McWilliams and Billy Eisengrein.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve always wondered who hoisted the American flag over ground Zero and now I know who it was, and now I know who it wasn’t – it wasn’t Mitchell Feltz.<\/p>\n

I guess Stolen Valor does not stop with the military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
