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

The folks at MilitaryPhony<\/a> published additional military records on Ty Hampe<\/a> – the individual claiming to have two CIBs and a Purple Heart.<\/p>\n

You may recall that TAH published an article about Hampe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hampe’s Facebook page has a post of him in uniform and then a closeup of the uniform.<\/p>\n

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

Hampe also had a photo posted to his Facebook page that displayed two (2) Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and Special Forces designation.<\/p>\n

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

Then there is a claim on his Facebook page that the Purple Heart medal is his…<\/p>\n

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

There is also a photo of Hampe’s truck posted to his Facebook page.\u00a0 Within the emblem for Operation Iraqi Freedom, it appears to display a Silver Star.<\/p>\n

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

It was apparent from the last blog that more information was needed to determine if Hampe had indeed earned two CIBs and a Purple Heart.\u00a0 An additional FOIA request went to the NPRC as well as the Indiana National Guard.<\/p>\n

Here are the results:<\/p>\n

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

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

Oddly, they say “SEE ATTACHED” for assignments, but all they sent was the Summary Sheet.\u00a0 Here are his assignments from the first FOIA request, although it does not break out Hampe’s earlier active duty time from 1981-1986.<\/p>\n

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

Then, we have the results obtained from the Indiana National Guard…<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

To save you the trouble, MilitaryPhony made an effort to determine what the abbreviations meant for the awards\/medals\/ribbons\/badges.\u00a0 This is what they came up with…<\/p>\n

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

The point of this exercise was to conclusively identify a Purple Heart, a Combat Infantryman Badge (x2) and\/or a Silver Star.\u00a0 We could not.<\/p>\n

There is no Purple Heart, no Master Parachutist\u2019s Badge, no Master Rigger school, or no jungle school listed in Ty Hampe\u2019s official military record.<\/p>\n

The Bronze Star Medal and the National Defense Service Medal were absent from the first NPRC FOIA result, but they both showed up on the refile results.\u00a0 In the photo, he displays two Bronze Star Medals.<\/p>\n

Of concern and of violation of the Stolen Valor Act is the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), especially with the star designating a second award.\u00a0 This was not found in Hampe\u2019s official military records.<\/p>\n

In addition, there was no trace of a Purple Heart or a Silver Star.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
