Firefighters Outraged Over False Claim
WDRB.com reports that Kentucky firefighters are outraged over a man that claimed he was a fireman at Ground Zero the day of the 9/11 attacks.
Kentucky firefighters are outraged after they say a Louisville man made unsubstantiated claims of being a Ground Zero fireman who pulled bodies from the rubble on Sept. 11.
Mitchell Feltz — a.k.a. Michael — says he worked for Lexington and Georgetown fire departments at the time of the terrorist attacks and retired in 2012.
“Not only was he not in the Lexington Fire Department system, he was nowhere in Fayette County, Lexington urban government system,” Lexington Fire Department Battalion Chief Marc Bramlage said. “If we have someone going around not representing us in a good light, that does damage to the department and it also does damage to the profession in general.”
In the GSN interview, Feltz told wild stories about some of the most iconic images from the attacks. He claims to be one of the three firefighter hoisting the American flag in the midst of the rubble at Ground Zero.
Those firefighters have long been identified as George Johnson, Dan McWilliams and Billy Eisengrein.
I’ve always wondered who hoisted the American flag over ground Zero and now I know who it was, and now I know who it wasn’t – it wasn’t Mitchell Feltz.
I guess Stolen Valor does not stop with the military.

Stolen Valor among professional civilians. Who knew?
Can he be prosecuted under “Stolen Valor” laws?
Either way, I hope he gets his pee-pee smacked flat.
Further musings; if he wasn’t a firefighter, then what was he?
AND…..
Going on the theory that Stolen Valor is the Rancid Cherry topping the Shit Sundae, what other crimes has he committed that are on record?
A Big BZ to Gilbert Corsey, the reporter for doing his homework and busting this POS. Looks like fat boy been freeloading at more than the local BBQ House. Wonder if he is connected to Young Gs? If he’s tired of BBQ, maybe he could join up as a chilli taste tester. Anyone aware of an association that may need a chilli taste tester? With a BBQ background and a degree in sh^tbaggery?
Mitchel Feltz is a lying sack of sh^t standing on the bodies and in the blood of everyone who made the supreme sacrifice during and after the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks. ESAD mofo!!
He’s a cellulite fighter.
Looks like the cellulite won that fight.
He looks like he NEVER met a jelly doughnut he didn’t like.
Lars your pizza is ready! Come-a-runnin’ over here and tell us all about Trump and 9/11. Get it while it’s hot.
Fool! Everyone knows Bush Jr. did 9/11, with the help of the Illuminati. Trump was actually at ground zero, heroically sifting through the rubble and saving many people that day, after witnessing literally thousands of muslims celebrating and chanting in the streets of Jersey City.
/sarc
In all seriousness, I don’t know if stolen valor laws extend to first responders and firefighters too, but they should. It’s beyond me how shitbags like this guy never realize how easily their tall tales can be verified these days.
No doubt. It’s also beyond me how in the hell they can sleep in peace at night. Low IQ?
Don’t encourage Taylor to be more of an ass than he already is, OldManchu.
Cocksucker.
SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
COCKSUCKER!!!
Cocksucker.
Sarge, don’t you mean COCKSUCKER??
That guy just looks like he’s not all there. No excuse for lying. Even if he is a little mentally slow, what’s the interviewer’s excuse for not doing a simple Google search on the flag raisers? More “journalism”.
POSer.
Zer0.
What a Grandma-fucking piece of SHIT who is also his own cousin.
Idiot’s family tree looks like a #2 pencil.
“Not only was he not in the Lexington Fire Department system, he was nowhere in Fayette County, Lexington urban government system,” Lexington Fire Department Battalion Chief Marc Bramlage said. “If we have someone going around not representing us in a good light, that does damage to the department and it also does damage to the profession in general.”
Yeah, no kidding. Stolen Valor does apply to a lot of things, including claims like Feitz’s. If he was there, how come he doesn’t have the health symptoms associated with being at the site of the WTC?
What a despicable chunk of pig dung.
Dick hole….and as the memory of 9/11 becomes further and further in the past, the number of people who claimed to be at ground zero with conversely continue to GROW.
Dude, if your life is THAT fucking meaningless you have to CREATE a friggen fantasy to live why don’t you include some large breasted females and yourself as the ruler instead of inserting yourself into the darkest day in recent American history? You fucking piece of shit….
“as the memory of 9/11 becomes further and further in the past, the number of people who claimed to be at ground zero with conversely continue to GROW“
Amen.
There’s that axiom about those that have seen the most tragedy seek the least amount of recognition.
Maybe someone should email this fat f*ck.
Local TV Channel 41 WMGT in Macon GA ran an article on a supposed 9/11 on site firefighter. yesterday. FTA is was just a very few minutes after posting on their social media & innerwebz the station was getting emails and phone calls from FDNY folks calling the POS out. He had also alluded to being a Vet. As y’all said, prolly gonna get worse as time goes on.
Dude’s name was Brian Cheham, claimed membership in Ladder 62. Let’s see if we can help make him Google Famous.
Brian Cheham claimed to be involved in 9/11 as well as being a vet?
I think someone should look into that vet claim, don’t you?
Yes ma’am he did and yes ma’am someone should. Admin can google foo the TV Station, wish I knew how to do that copy/linkie/pasty to a comment thingie. I opened a new tab to confirm the name as I was inputting my FIRST comment. The story is on their website still and I’ll check the local fish wrapper to see if they have anything on it.
HEY Mitchell Feltz — a.k.a. Michael, chin up, and I mean ALL FOUR of them, you weak-kneed no-load pus-nuts pisspants needle-dicked cockroach-fucking slug-licking bucket of lying cockroach shit!
Holy shit! Is that in the Hemisphere of Insults? If not it damned well should be.
“Holy shit! Is that in the Hemisphere of Insults? If not it damned well should be.”
So it is requested, so it shall be.
I don’t care if (as usual) any of this particular one is repetitive, it’s going on there.
If that is a motion for the deployment thereof I hereby SECOND. If it is not a motion I hereby make a motion. If it is in fact an already motioned and seconded I hereby say AYE!!!!!!!!
Ruling?
You’re cleared hot, as you guys say. Light him the fuck up!
DO IT, BAYBEE!!!
Match generated bearings and … shoot.
“Lying bucket of chihuahua shit” is already in there, one of many that I’ve donated.
Don’t most states have laws against such claims? Not stolen valor, per se, but false claims of being a public servant, or some variation?
Aggravated Douchebaggery? Criminal Assholiness?
Well I guess liars are everywhere and these guys who think they can gain a little prestige in their otherwise meaningless lives by inventing bullshit instead of actually doing some work are clearly in just about ever walk of life….
Cops/firefighters/Doctors….no one is safe from the people who will pretend to be what they are not for whatever reason.
This asshat ought to be made to stand at the nozzle end of the hose on full pressure and get blown all over the training ground until he’s so black and blue his family won’t recognize him for a few weeks.
Fucking clown.
Give him a charged deuce&Zach-half line charged to 200psi nozzle pressure, no Kenyon loop, no hose strap, and nobody backing him up, and let him ride the fucking bull. Then throw a KMP pack with 300 feet of 1-1/2” wajax and some lateral brass on his back and go for a nice little afternoon stroll up Mount Motherfucker. And that’s just to warm up while I come up with some less pleasant activities. Like sit his fat ass in the flashover box and let him bake until his vibralert stops—he’ll have enough air left to reach the door if he stays close enough to it. Among other things.
Fyr? Ideas?
Those look pretty good… maybe hand him a Bresnan distributor on a deuce and a half and charge that at 150… climb a church-raised 50ft bangor ladder? do tower laps at the drill ground in full gear / on air till he sucks rust…force the green monster door in summer heat with just a halligan till he pukes? I’m sure I can think of a few more given time… Maybe a few dozen Denver drills..
It’s a felony in most states to impersonate a doctor or a cop, isn’t it? And yet people do it, thinking they can get away with it.
What this jerk did is heinous enough. I’m with TOW: put him on the real hose and turn it on. (Geez, that does sound like, fun trying to manage one of those things!)
Fucking cockbag douchetool queefstench queerbait dicksmoking asslicking nutless lump of snake shit. This sisterfucking bastard oughta have his head held down in in a jackshack to see how long he can hold his breath. Fuck his lying ass straight to hell.
Someone yank ChipNASA’s chain and ask him to add this to the Hemisphere of Insults, quick! Before it gets away!!
Tell us how you really feel, TOW… VENT YOUR SPLEEN, BROTHER!
Most folks that play wither their Fisher-Price Rescue Heroes don’t claim to actually have been Rescue Heroes, at least over the age of four.
Once a Man, twice a Child. But in Felch’s case, probably an Idiot.
For a nice trip down the TAH memoryhole:

In the second picture.
WTF is with the chain for a chin strap?
And that helmet is way to clean and shiny to have been in a fire.
Make this fatass reload hose every day all day until he has rendered off a hundred pounds of that blubber he’s toting around.
Maybe the chain is for hanging the helmet up. I see that it isn’t a Cairns New Yorker leather forever helmet. I see it has a plexi glass face shield. He should have bought a case of Beating in a can and sprayed it on the helmet and then put it in an oven. I bet it doesn’t even have a “Bronx” bend in the back.
Looks like a Bullard peanut helmet. About the cheapest structure helmet known to man, easily available for cheap at surplus stores, on EBay, etc. Primarily used by B-movie prop companies, themed strippers, and posers on a budget.
You’re right on the money, not even a scratch on that helmet!
His dumb ass should quit while he’s behind…
New name:
Mitchell/Michael Feltch. (you look it up)
He looks kinda “Downsey”…mama’s egg mighta been past its freshness date.
