Residents complain about man’s ‘stolen valor’ image
They have a video of the event HERE
PITCAIRN, Pa. – Several Pitcairn residents are outraged about a man who they claim displays Marine Corps insignias and says he served overseas but did not actually serve in the armed forces. Such cases are referred to as “stolen valor” — people who seek attention and sometimes financial benefits based on a false military history.
A Marine Corps veteran questioned Luis Cruz on video about his apparently contradictory claims of service, and the video began to circulate on social media. “I’ve seen him with different military uniforms, in Army, Navy … never a full Marine Corps (uniform) on, but veteran T-shirts,” said former Cpl. Matt Ruby, who did serve in Iraq.
Pitcairn Police Chief Scott Farally confirmed they’ve received complaints about Cruz, and are launching an investigation while getting the Department of Veterans Affairs involved.
“That he served numerous tours in Iraq,” Farally said. “He actually made it to another individual who bought him food that really thought he was in the military.”
Channel 11 found Luis Cruz in Pitcairn on Thursday and asked him about the complaints. He said he did indeed serve in the Marines for 15 years, and was stationed in California and then Texas.
But when we asked him if he served in Iraq, he said no. We showed Cruz the video of him saying he went to Iraq, and asked him why his answer was different.
“I don’t remember saying that, because I was upset,” he said.

“I don’t remember saying that, because I was upset,” he said.
It should read;
“I don’t remember saying that, because I was ‘high as hell’,” he said.
Word ^^^^
Good grief! Not another red tank shirt!
Multiple choice answers here;
a) – never served at all
b) – left after 3 weeks of boot
c) – something about ‘pants on fire’
You got it right. Need to do a FOIA to see if he actually served. Anyone who serves 15 years as a Marine is not going to voluntarily stop at the 15 year-mark.
And he’s not going to wear a red tank T-shirt in public, either.
Unless he’s looking for a boyfriend.
Obviously someone who voted for Hillary, birds of a feather flock together, another I misspoke specialist.
“It takes a village”
The village called. They are looking for their idiot.
You guys are so stupid!
What he said was, “I ate a rack of ribs”.
LEGIT … because he is suing.
Cocksucker
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!
I think that it’s hilarious that someone is coming in here and actually hitting the “Don’t Like” buttons on this little bit o’ banter.
Is that you, Luis?
No shit right?!
Cocksuckers
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Direct hit!
Request immediate re-attack; hit ’em again. Expend all on your next pass.
Cleared hot.
Onslow from keeping up appearances.
26Lima; I have the complete DVD set of Keeping up appearances. Never got the Faulty Towers or Monte Python sets.
He’s missing the pack of smokes on his shirt sleeve plus the can of beer while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
He said that he served overseas but not in the Armed Forces that I presume means the US Armed Forces. Maybe he used a time machine and served in the Congo under Col. Mike Hoare of 5 Commando fame.
Maybe he shortdicked every cannibal in the Congo…
If God wanted you on top of this obstacle he would have miricaled your ass up there.
He miracled his ass off that scooter.
What a dumb fucker.
Did I mention,”What a dumb fucker”?
What a dumb fucker.
“Somebody” did some checking and shocking as this sounds…they can’t find Luis in any data base yet. Its almost as if he never served.
I think someone is asking the Marine Corps if they ever heard of him. They did find a bunch of other records on him though.
His records are probably sealed. They can only be opened by the President of the United States in a time of National Emergency.
Until then, Luis Cruz continues his deep cover as a homeless looking man on the streets of Pitcairn, PA, sometimes on a scooter.
He is an agent for the Deep State looking for that last Straw.
Moving to Santa Barbara for advanced PSYOPS in the near future…
But there are no straws in Santa Barbara now.
Could you imagine walking past an alley someday and someone makes a “PSST” sound, opens their trenchcoat to reveal various kinds of plastic straws – straight ones, colored ones, curled ones, bent ones, etc.
We’ll see that day in our lifetime.
So far, I think that is only going on in places like SanFran and Portland.
It hasn’t happened here just yet. I don’t understand the issue, because plastic straws can be recycled into other plastic products, some of them quite useful. A full box of them doesn’t even weigh a half-pound.
However, the reason straws (paper in the beginning) came into use was to try to reduce the spread of disease that can be transmitted by dishes in restaurants NOT being washed properly.
And it really is gross to think that some bum off the street, like this tank-top clanker, might have been there ahead of you. Gakkkk!
Especially when you don’t really know where he’s been….
Agent tank top was probably the one washing the dishes.
Eeeeeeewwwwwww! You finally did it! You grossed me out!!!
Congratulations!
He probably works all day blowing winos behind bus stops.
Too poor to have a motorcycle, but probably has a mutt. If he’s anything like the ‘homeless veterans’ here on the street corners, he ties the mutt to a pole and keeps it in the sun all day or until he has enough for MD 20-20 and a burger. I’ve had more than one conversation with those who keep their dog exposed in the sun all day long. I’ve also called animal control and the cops but they can do nothing. Really, some of these dogs are in the sun 10 hours a day, sometimes with the temp in the 90s and the ‘feels like’ temp over 100.
If I’m to believe this guy is legit, he’s going to have to have a Harley, leather vest with a few dozen patches, including the POW-MIA patch, doorag, shades, thousand yard stare and most importantly, a comfort dog. The dog is for the imaginary PTSD he caught in the Viet of the Nam. Oh, and his service record can only be released by POTUS. Either that or it was destroyed in The Fire. My money is on The Fire.
Oh, I’ve got it: he really belongs in San Francisco, maybe in Haight-Ashbury. He could join the Beautiful People while he’s there.
If he’s going to San Francisco, tell him to be sure to wear some flowers in his hair.
(See what I did there?)
Yeah, and isn’t it just a pity that all those cute, nubile hippie chicks from the 60s are old ladies now?? (Giggle)
(Click. crackle-sheeessshh-crackle.) “Attention: ALL of the following personnel are to report for Personal Hygiene class in the dayroom at 1600 tomorrow. Cruz, L.” (Click.)
I have just got my feet up with beers and packets of crisps waiting for the next installment.
Bonehead would have said something like Camp Pendleton in CA, not simply California. I hope someone will do a FOIA request on him and post it here for all to see.
It’s all I can think of
BHWHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!
Same kind of shitbird near where i used to live. POW hat, even had one of those “warrior” credit cards to pay for his beer. When asked to defend a homeowner whose flags were being torn down because the HOA were being their usual vigilante selves, he said “I can’t because it would give me away if we was on the news….” Yeah, right. he got on his motorcycle with his leather vest and flag patches and rode away.
Speaking of Stolen Valor, my buddy Forest Green checked in last night after encountering a poser yesterday who claimed to be one of the “last 30 Marines out of the US Embassy in Vietnam”.
After listening to the poser’s tale, Forest Green asked the poser if he was the one hanging from the helo skid.
The poser then left the area rather quickly.
Poser assclowns are everywhere these days.
Nicely done!
There’s another in The Journal, a local rag that Jonn was well familiar with. The paper has an Unsung Heroes piece and today is featured a fellow who says he is a Korean War Veteran and that he was with the snd Marine Division there. Of course, he landed at Inchon and was at the Chosen–and to this day he wears two pairs of socks. Problem? You bet. I’ll let the military history buffs say why.

The like and unlike buttons are great,however….warning, I only have a tablet with a touchscreen. I’m suspecting I’m not the only one who accidently hits the dislike button because of where it’s positioned. On Don Shipley s website there is a dick bomb positioned there, which again, I tend to inadvertently hit without realizing it…so, sorry in advance since I can’t promise it won’t happen again,
You can unclick it if you accidentally click it. Just click it again and it subtracts your click.
53 year-old Luis R. Cruz-Nieves had been arrested for punching a police officer.
