Two More Valor Thieves
Valor For Sale
Our very own Snake, who does his good works mostly at Military Phonies, is kind enough to share a couple articles with the class. Both describe reprehensible acts, but one wiggler is especially egregious in his douche-baggery. I’ll leave it to our gentle readers to decide which is which.
MC man convicted of stolen valor, forgery
By Josh Dooley
A 61-year-old Yellville man received probation Wednesday after he admitted to six counts of forgery, two counts of perjury and one count of stolen valor.Joseph Todd, known locally as Kenny Fagan, received four years of probation as part of a plea bargain.
Todd’s legal troubles for assuming the identity of a dead child and using the identity to claim more than $140,000 in federal benefits may not be over as the federal government could potentially charge him with crimes and seek restitution for the benefits paid to Todd.
As part of the plea bargain, Circuit Court Judge John Putman sentenced Todd to 120 days in the Marion County Jail on the forgery charges and 30 days on the stolen valor charge. Since Todd has been in jail since his March 5 arrest, he will likely be released soon.

FDNY: Man who spoke at Naples 9/11 memorial event fabricated experiences
Author: Jake Allen
A Naples resident who was a featured speaker at a 9/11 memorial event last week lied about his involvement in recovery efforts at Ground Zero, according to the New York City Fire Department.According to the FDNY, it’s a case of stolen valor, a person claiming to have been there in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
But Maurice Keshner, who is originally from New York City, stands by his story.
He told a crowd of about 40 people at a Freedom Park ceremony in Naples that he was a “commander” with the FDNY at Ground Zero for two months following the attacks.
Keshner said he was a retired chief of emergency medical services when an FDNY fire chief called him to serve as a chief at Ground Zero.
Keshner said they even sent a helicopter to airlift him to the site on 9/11 and that he oversaw a team involved with recovery efforts.
Frank Dwyer, FDNY spokesman and deputy commissioner of the fire department, called Keshner’s claims “absurd” and said there are no records that show Keshner ever worked for the department.

Since these issues are already open sourced (published) they require no special handling- something for our members to consider if there is an interesting news item to post up. If there are any questions about posting ASK FIRST. Better safe than sorry.
Thanks, Snake.

I vote two turds for the first guy with the two names, whichever is closer to the real one. Must be an actor, singer, or carnie to have two names like that.
Second guy, no turds for him. He’s already fullash#t.
I’m going to say going forward that 9/11 stories will be the new currency of stolen valor grifters. To milk Vietnam, you need to be in your early 70’s or the timelines don’t match. There is too much on the ‘net to check GWOT claims, so 9/11 will be there go-to bullshit.
An 18 year old draftee could easily have spent ’73 there being born in ’55 or’54. Call it 65 instead of 70 and you’re dead on. (You would think by that age people would grow up and give it up, but it sure seems at least 50% of the posers are hanging onto phony Vietnam valor.)
” An 18 year old draftee could easily have spent ’73 there being born in ’55 or ’54.”
No Sir, I don’t think that could be right, so please bear with me. I’m not trying to be snarky, but:
If I remember right, the actual induction/report for physical notice for Vietnam Times was not sent out until after the individual had attained his 19th birthday. If it went out while he was still 18 years old, the potential existed that he could not yet have completed high school.
The lottery drawing for Year Group 1954 was 8 Mar 73 and the lottery drawing for Year Group 1955 was 20 Mar 74.
The last draft call was on 7 Dec 72 and the actual last man was inducted (Lottery #95 from the 1952 Year Group) on 30 Jun 73 when the authority to induct expired.
Again, not trying to be sarcastic in my response, just trying to say that there is not much of a possibility that someone born in 1954/55 was actually drafted and sent to Vietnam.
I am going to assume VA federal benefits.
Does no one at the VA do a minimum of checking?
Birthdays don’t match.
No military service records
Etc.

“Fagan” Are we sure it’s not spelled “Fagin” as in Oliver Twist?
Seems to fit.
‘beans, you didn’t notice something in the linky about the lying, thieving, low life, piece of sh^t Joseph Todd/aka/Kenny Fagan? Something that should get a number of TAHs in an uproar AND an it’s about time? I speak of the claim of Military Service Valor Thievery as a WIREMAN during the Viet of the Nam Times. Dippy would have been 9 yo.
Kinda agree with the spirit, if not the exact letter, of Jarhead’s comment. Guy #2 “fullash^t” aka Maurice Keshner is not quite as “fullash^t” now since he (a) sh^t out guy #1, ol’ 2 turds award hisself and (b) he talked a lot of sh^t at the Service.
Surprised that no one threw the BS flag at “fullash^T” Maurice Keshner during his supposed program. “Found people sitting at the table…bodies with arms tied from the plane…” Some people may call him Maurice, I call him the gangsta of Valor Thievery.
Cocksuckers!!!!
Mick…pick up the white courtesy phone…we gots an air strike for you. Where you been? Have you lost that loving feeeling? Somebody keeping you on ice, man? You on the beach, having a ball?
Finally! Stolen valor has reached the Signal Corps! We’ve been grossly neglected in the shitbag sweepstakes and now we’re on the scoreboard!
Most of the bodies were consumed by the flames from the kerosene jet fuel that atomized when the planes hit the buildings. If anything got through, I doubt if it was anything larger than a finger.
The jet fuel explosion is what started the entire offices on fire. It was that fire that brought the Towers down, nothing else.
Plastic burns hot and all of todays offices and living quarters are filled with plastics of all shapes and sizes.
It’s all just basic Newtonian physics.
Yep Steve, my point eggxactly. Oh, and yeah, big surprise….Flururduh…again!
Looks like the phony Seals are not even last in the TAH starting gate Not even a win place or show.
What a pair of colossal jerks.
Do these morons really think that no one tracks down these things? That no one knows better? Are they really stupid enough to count on pre or non-internet lack of research?
If you answered ‘yes’ to all three questions, you get a half gallon of gravy from Dave Hardin.
Is that “…1/2 gallon of gravy from Dave Hardin”, gravy that Dave made, or is that gravy that YOU made that had been earmarked FOR him? My answer to your 3 questions is directly proportional to you answer to my question.
ps…btw…Sister M_____ from NE sent me a “just because” box of homemade cookies from NE. Assortment of p’nut butter (crunchy), snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, and iced lemon tea cake. And there is 7 assorted ice cream containers in the freezerator. Just saying.
Oh goody goody !!!!
A couple of Friday morning chew toys for us to play with !!!
This is so much fun !!!!
The man in Naples was probably performing / executing his final project from his internship at All-Points Logistics.
Curious as the grade the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) gives him or in Phildo offers him a an entry level position.
Fuckdumpsteres!!!
Yeah, like human sperm banks, they are.
I’d add this to the HoI but I already have Humpty Dumpty, and a few assorted entries with Dumpster in them already.
*Yawn*
Skip To My Loo…
“Keshner said they even sent a helicopter to airlift him to the site on 9/11 and that he oversaw a team involved with recovery efforts”.
Hey, Maurice Keshner, you stolen valor shitbird, the airspace over the entire United States was shutdown by the afternoon of 9-11, even for PD and FD helicopter flights. And that’s just one of the more obvious fuck-ups in your story.
I’m surprised this Maurice Keshner phony didn’t pull a maggoty maggie and start doing push-ups in his fake FD uniform at the 9/11 memorial ceremony…
Just a pair of twots… And not very interesting twots *yawn* Thanks for the post
