Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Sobering. Remarkably compassionate, but brutally factual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I am deeply saddened for the son and the rest of the clan. I pray they can move beyond it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 My VFW post frequently gets requests for funeral honors. We always check to ensure the deceased is in fact a veteran. Frequently the family members will share tales of his military rank, escapades, and decorations. Sometimes they have been misled. Our funeral ceremonies never mention such things. I cringe to see some of the obituaries posted outlining fictional heroics. We never inform family members however unless it turns out the deceased absolutely was not a veteran.

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 We had a person here who claimed to be a Marine sniper in Viet Nam. He used a special Weatherby rifle with a seven foot long barrel and a three foot long silencer that fired a .50 caliber machine gun cartridge necked down to .30 caliber. I never called him on it. I figured that if I did he might come up with a less transparent lie. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The dad in that article had issues that went well beyond lying about his service. Sounds like he was a scumbag all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
