Hubert Meyers – Never a Commando, not a Vietnam Vet! – Stolen Valour Canada
Stolen Valour Canada was advised by a number of parties that there was a potential issue with the medals and insignia that Mr Hubert Meyers had been photographed wearing along with his claims of serving alongside the US military during the Vietnam War.
SVC does not act upon unsubstantiated intelligence or malicious tips that are often initiated as a result of petty jealousy, marital misadventure or, sheer vindictiveness.
We will not waste any staff effort on someone’s “gut feel” nor do we do participate in witch hunts. Tipsters must provide evidence (pictures, news articles, social media links) of their concerns before we can move forward.
Prior to investing any research effort into what could become an unfounded wild goose chase; we contact named individuals in order to provide them with an opportunity to sort out the reported situation. Our hope, they would take advantage of our offer to protect their reputation and silence the issue once and for all by providing proof of the medallic entitlements.
To that end, we asked that Meyers, back in July 2018, to provide us with the documentation that would prove his entitlement to wear the Green Beret / hat badge of the Korps Commandotroepen of the Netherlands Army.
We also requested that he prove his lawful right to wear what can only be described as a bizarre group of official and commemorative US military medals including the Purple Heart x 3 and third awards of Air Force Commendation Medal & the National Defense Service Medal.
The result of initial inquiry – Meyers immediately scrubbed his Facebook page of any evidence of his claimed military service. This sort of behaviour is quite familiar to our researchers and warrants further investigation of the individual.
So, we contacted our friends in the Netherland’s Commando Association to solicit their assistance in determining whether Mr Meyers was ever a badged member of their organization.
Their response – Who?
Mr Meyers eventually contacted SVC with the goal of sorting out this situation. Long story, made short, he has now apologized for his actions and surrendered the items in question.
Mr Meyers has surrendered the pictured items, SVC will now coordinate their return to the authorities for appropriate disposal action.
Outstanding work by Stolen Valour Canada.

Another phony canuck. This may be the first time on TAH that some poser claimed to be a Dutch Commando…
Dutch Commando/Dutch Rudder….
Potato/Potahtoe
He likely figured no one would able to check that bogus claim, whereas claiming to be SAS or Royal Marine Commando would be easier to check.
Such a J-E-R-K!!!!
Now that he has surrendered, I suppose his next claim will be that he was a POW.
I was thinking since he surrendered he would claim French military service.
At Dien Bien Phu.
giggle snort…Just damn…and face palm! you boys ain’t right. A sprew alert would have been the right thing to do.
Despite him apologizing and scrubbing his fake book, I still make a motion for the deployment of the Continent of Insults.
Cocksucker
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Multi-National COCKSUCKER!
Dutch …….. whaaaaaaaaat?
I know a Dutch thingy he may be able to claim legitimately.
Well, they have been down a member for just over a year…
Still maintaining minus 6 feet AGL?
Yep.
Wonder if he knows ole Sticky Bums?
Once again it’s three phony Purple Hearts.
Huebie earns a Kerry Factor of KF3
I also see 3 USAF Commendation medals, I received 1 of those and that’s my highest award and I actually did something to EARN that piece of ribbon and pot medal… I’m insulted by what amounts to is a dicmunching anal orifice, bet he wipes other men’s asses with that beard at some gay watering hole in Trudoe or is that Trudeau village in the boonies of Canada
“that’s my highest award and I actually did something to EARN that piece of ribbon and pot medal”
Same here for my ARCOM. I make fun of it and take fun of it but I earned it for real.
And it sits on the top row above the Viet of the Nam stuff. It means the world to me.
I wonder if he is one of those that ran up to Canada upon receiving his draft notice in the 60’s and now has a guilt complex over it and so fantasizes he didn’t run but ran toward the sound of gun fire; BUT he knows nothing about it, that’s why he’s a super soup sandwich and a dead give away to his faux persona.
Old Dutch was originally from the Arnhem region of Holland and moved to Canada in the early 1970s. He was likely in the Dutch Army as a conscript, all males were required to do 14-16 months of service until the 90s. Of note, he retained his safe driver and light machine gun qualification badges and willingly gave up the commando badge/green beret and the bogus US medals.
The infamous unionized pony-tailed hairnetted public pot-smoking Dutch conscript soldiers of the 60s and 70s. Good Lord what a freak show that was…
Somebody had to…
ASSHOLE…my brother who wasn’t raised with us (long story) and stayed in Holland who I found in 2008 helped me get my papa’s military records and medals….and more. So the story’s papa told me were 100% true verified by other fighters
Friend: Move slowly away from the keyboard and focus on your breathing. When you’ve calmed yourself, you might want to have another go at a comment. That one made no sense.
Okay we came to America …my papa married my mother in Amsterdam
And she refused to care for my brother by his first wife, so he was left in Holland. I had no clue until my papa told me just before he died I had a older half brother with only his birth name and date. I found him in 2008 living in France… I contacted him via Facebook and he called me a few hours later. We talked four four hours.
He was adopted at age 8 by a great family. We sent pictures via Facebook and he had lots of questions.
I sent him copies of journals I keep since little so he could verify stories my pop told me about WW2. He verified through the Dutch military and I had the US Military verify three pilots who were let to safety after bailing in occupied Holland to Belgium…
My brother received his medals for both of us and sent them to me..
There’s more…
That’s better, except for this: are you writing about Meyers or a totally unrelated person?
What does any of that have to do with anything???
You saying that it’s OK for someone to wear medals not awarded to them because someone else in the family also was not awarded them??
I think the “a-hole” Friend’s referring to might be the Dutch-born Canadian poser that’s the subject of the article, OWB.
If so, I think I understand where Friend is coming from. I am particularly offended by fakers claiming the PH and Silver Star – because one of my late uncles legitimately received both of those decorations during World War II>
That would seem to be the implication, yes. However, “Friend” seems to be saying that the awards were given to his father, which obviously could not be true either. Foreign nationals do not earn an NDSM, for instance for helping US airmen survive a crash in enemy territory during a period prior to the NDSM being awarded to anyone.
Just another, old, gnarly, french-fried turd.
Kudos to SVC and to Hubert Meyers I say “TAKE OFF, HOSER!!!”
“I humbly apologize…”
He’s not sorry he did it; He’s sorry he got caught.
