Donald Lemmond; cross-border phony
Our buddy, Aunty Brat, sends us a link to the story of Donald Lemmond who alternated between making up tales about his US and Canadian military service;
Last fall, Lemmond attended local citizenship ceremonies, including one at Mohawk College, under the guise of being a decorated Canadian and U.S. combat veteran. The school then invited him to speak during its Remembrance Day ceremony, which included video commemorating Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was killed in an attack at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Oct. 22, 2014.
Lemmond wore a uniform decorated with war medals and spoke of saving lives. But a member of the audience noticed that his medals were worn improperly and that his story didn’t add up, Mohawk College spokesman Jay Robb said in December.
Lemmond was released Friday under conditions he appear in court to answer to the charges, which include two charges each of unlawful use of military uniforms for both the uniform and wearing a “distinctive mark,” and two charges of impersonating a peace officer using a badge, uniform or equipment.
From an earlier article;
Lemmond says in the 1970s he spent six months in Vietnam with his American cousins, where he served as a stretcher bearer for the U.S. Army.
“I don’t know that you would call it extreme valour of anything else. I just did my job.”
Lemmond also says he served unofficially with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan with his cousin, a commanding officer, in 2006-07.
“It was only a matter of three months, if that.”
He retired in 2007 with the rank of captain, he says.
As for the medals, Lemmond says he’s had them for a little over a year and a half — his cousin told him he should have them.
“They’re the ones that my cousin sent me. He said they’re your medals,” said Lemmond, who lives in a small, modest suite in a Hamilton public housing high rise.
Yeah, I think this one wanted to get caught. These old guys should just stop – they make me sad.

US Army Stretcher Bearer – MOS 13BS.
His cousin – Most certainly LEGIT!
Dude looks like Larry Sims aka The Weasel.
Probably slept with him too.
Stretcher bearer? I love it when they make up stuff that shows they have no clue. And Running your military service from Vietnam to the war on terror?
Stretcher Bearer was just his secondary MOS.
Primary MOS was 57A10, Combat Cat-Hole Excavator.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Watch what you say about us old guys. There’s many a faithful reader of TAH that’re old guys, who just want to live quietly under the radar. It’s only a certain sub species of SV sub humans who are looking for soooo much attention that they’re lookinv to get caught.
I wonder how many relagives Mr Lemmond has? And can we get them all together enough to run to the sea and drown??
This dude is the real deal… he’s the original RICE PADDY DADDY for BOTH the US Army and the Canadian Armed Forces!
Farking assclown….
“Farking assclown” is right.
The beret reminds me of Jack Nicholson when he played the “Joker” several years ago.
He lives in Public Housing, obviously a cornerstone of his community – NOT!! I wonder if he’s on welfare to boot? Did he ever work during his life to make something of himself, or has he been a freeloader that just wants to feel good about himself?

“My name is Donald Lemmond. I served with the forces of Canada and
the United States
for 35 years as an army ivleoicai person. i reiired in 2007 in Afganastain. i’m a
proud memmber
of Her Majastey’s Army and Navy Vetrans club, l’m the Colour Guard Depetey
Commander.A
little about me: Born in 1943 on the six Nations indian reservation near
Brantford Ontario. My
earliy years were spent speaking Mohawk, and english.At 13 years old I
joined the R.H.L.l.
Cadet Corps, Because I liked the uniform and because I wanted to make
friends in the white
community, at 18 years old ijoined the 101 Airbourne as a trainer of their
medical persons and
so my carer as a person in the forces started. As I stand here in frount of you
on the frist day of
your being a Canadian Citizen I feel proud to say welcome to the country of
my people
As you look upon my uniform you see that I have many Awards and
Honours, these I got for my
years of service as a Medical person, I have also the Honour of wearing
around my neck The
Congresitional Medal Of Valour, this was given to me in 2008, by the people
and goverment of the
U.S.A. for my suport of there people during The War on Terrisiom in 2001. I
know that some of you
are from places that the last thing a person from the armed forcqs whould say
to you is welcome to
this country and to freedom, but here we mean it.
When I retired from the forces I held the rank of Captain Army Medical
Corps. l,stand here today to say that i hope you all tak6 your oath and walk
out of here as proud of this country as I was to serve
and that,vou enjoy all the good that this enuntry can give you”
Good Grief, that sounds like a mixture of Bernath and Wickre with a dose of Wittgenfeld mixed in!!
Purple berets, for those special occasions when your regular beret just isn’t gay enough
The matching beret and tie look fabulous!
Latent Homersexual…reference, Homer Simpson. What a screwed up tool. He’s been doing this for years and just couldn’t resist the opportunity to go full retard when it became available.
I particularly loved from his comment,
“Congresitional Medal Of Valour, this was given to me in 2008, by the people
and goverment of the
U.S.A. for my suport of there people during The War on Terrisiom in 2001.”
First how messed up is that bull shit and second, spelling and grammar are your friends Donny.
Yes I remember it now, Obama had him in the Rose Garden and then presented him with the “Congresitional Medal Of Valour”. Since it was during the idiot Obama’s tenure I could almost believe it, knowing Obama. But due to the secret squirrel nature of his service, it was a no press present event.
By the way it’s the first time I’ve heard a POS phpney claim, “my cousin sent them to me and said they are yours, you should have them”. That, unless my memory fails me and it might well be, is a first for me. Now we’ll have cousin screwing posers out the wazoo claiming, “yea you see, my cousin, an Army Special Forces, Marine Recon Sniper, SEAL I deployed with a couple or three months, just for shits and giggles, sent them to me and said, hey cuz, you deserve these and you can proudly wear them”.
Old or not…he’s a TURD and looks like a queer TURD at that.
“Congrestional Medal of Valour”? Look at the shit nickel hanging around his neck on the red, white and blue ribbon. It’s the Joint Service Commendation Medal! He didn’t earn that either! His grandfather wasn’t a veteran of the War of 1812, he didn’t graduate from the medical school at McMaster after his service in RVN with 101st Abn, and he didn’t drive an ambulance with 1 Cdn Field Hospital during GW1…
I truly wonder if he’s been anything other than a freeloading welfare flunkie all of his adult life?
I bet he was a 69F – Field Latrine Specialist/Monitor!
Probably also pulled duty as the bidet….
That would have to have been one hell of a stretcher bearer to get a Silver Star. And yeah, the medals are all jacked up. The SS, BSM, and PH would all be at the end of his little string. Asshat.
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again! I never thought I would see the day, when posers and embellishers, want to be Vietnam vets. Seems like they all want to be a member of the club!
We were quiet about it for a long time now all of them want to get with the “in crowd”
Go figure!
I’d believe him if he claimed that he was a golf tee.
