Maggie DeSanti – Phony Army Nurse Still At It

| October 21, 2019

One of our ninjas highlighted these recent stories.

You may recall a 2014 TAH posting about Maggie DeSanti here.

Well, she’s back at it and in the news over the past couple of days.

“When she was an Army nurse during the Vietnam War, DeSanti rappelled from helicopters to treat wounded soldiers.”

Once again, the media – in search of a feel-good story – will publish anything without verification.  In this case, we had DeSanti’s fakery on This Ain’t Hell for anyone to look up.
At least she didn’t advance in rank over the last 5 years.

Let’s start a petition for Trump to revoke her imaginary medals.

Two stolen valor classics being resurrected in one morning. It’s good to see that people appreciate those who put a lot of effort in their stolen valor rather than these flash in the pan phonies who can’t even get a good sock puppet or death threat on the thread. Who will Be next, Turd Bolling our of Memphis or Hack’s hometown favorite, Gunny Driveway from South Jersey?

I don’t know, I can’t begin to imagine the amount of booze involved…

OWB

Disgusting.

The original stolen valor is bad enough, but the news pushers who can’t be bothered with verifying a story before they publish may be even worse. After all, it is their job to do so. Evidently not so much these days.

Meanwhile, this cow continues to deprive those who have earned accolades from getting them, while taking advantage of innocent bystanders who know no better. All while those who are paid to fact check are too lazy to do it.

Here’s a clue: Real vets who take honor flights might wear a ball cap or some other small item signifying their military service but not an entire uniform.

cc senor

And real vets can do an actual pushup, something neither Maggie nor the TSA agent seemed capable of in the clip I saw.

The lying, valor thieving, old scrunty bitch Margaret DeSanti doesn’t get a free pass just because she, Margaret DeSanti has become an old, lying, valor thieving scrunty bitch. Maybe Margaret DeSanti used to be a young lying, valor thieving twunt? Don’t think Margaret DeSanti just started being a lying, valor thieving scrunty twunt bitch 5 years ago.

And another thing that pisses me off. Not that I’m surprised by it. All day yesterday when the ninjas and compatriots of TAH were lighting up the news feeds with direct fire putting the true story of the lying, valor thieving old scrunty bitch Margaret DeSanti, the story was either being ignored, dismissed or deleted. As one of our ninjas commented yesterday, we need to fill the innerwebz, using Margaret DeSantis’ name, as much as possible to flood the google foo search engines with “the rest of the story.” The souls of the true Veterans cry out for Justice.

OWB

While I completely agree with your sentiment, even when we successfully expose and flood the netz with the truth, it does no good when those who publish the lies can’t be bothered with checking their facts prior to putting the lies out there.

Maggie must’ve run afoul of the Army somewhere, she should’ve been pinning on her second star by now.

Phony Vietnam Veteran Army Nurse Margaret DeSanti was also “one of the first two women firefighter in New York” and “served during Desert Shield/Desert Storm for one year.” She also “served as secretary on the committee for the Veterans National Cemetery in Calverton”. Margaret “Maggie” deceased husband’s Samuel F. De Santi, an Air Force Korean War Veteran who served from 1949 to 1956, is buried at the Calverton Cemetary in New York. He is also listed as once being a MSG with the US Army. His last name is spelled “De Santi”. Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, U.S. Navy SEAL, MOH Recipient is also buried at Calverton. http://longisland.news12.com/story/39649290/thousands-of-volunteers-lay-wreaths-at-calverton-national-cemetery “Maggie DeSanti” “What a great feeling! I am in Az. And one day I will be next to my hubby! Thank you Wreaths across America” In 1954, a Samuel F. De Santi of New York married a Margaret MacElino in Brooklyn, New York. Research shows that it is the same Samuel F. De Santi buried at Calverton National Cemetery. He and Margaret DeSanti shared the same address in Brookhaven, NY before he passed away in 1985. Margaret DeSanti used the term “Capt” on her Retired Army Rank instead of “CPT” for O3 Rank. I believe the Air Force uses “Capt”? She also claims “Chief Combat Flight Nurse Wings” which I believe is Air Force as well. Here is her supposed Bio: https://www.facebook.com/419841724740097/posts/this-is-the-bio-for-one-of-our-speakers-this-evening-kindofabigdeal-ltc-margaret/794067727317493/ “This is the bio for one of our speakers this evening. #kindofabigdeal LTC, Margaret DeSanti, USA Retired, served in the United States Army Nurse Corps for 30 years.

That’s a good question to ask about Maggie DeSanti!

Combat Historian

“…She was one of 50 flight nurses attached to the 1st Cavalry helicopters who repelled on dust offs and was deployed to forward positions…”

Will repeat for the record that this bullshit was debunked in TAH’s previous posts about Maggoty Maggie. There were NO “flight nurses” deployed aboard Army helos in Vietnam. Zip. Nope. Nada. Maggoty Maggie pulled that one outta her moldy ass…

Comm Center Rat

FWIW No Margaret DeSanti (or De Santi) is listed in the US Army White Pages of any rank or status (eg. “retired”).

Her husband, Samuel F. De Santi is listed however, no rank or status is indicated.

She gets away with the shit because she knows people are lazy and gullible.

And the media wonders why they lack credibility in the eyes of the public.

IMHO she uses her age and gender to prey on peoples’ gullibility because how quickly does someone typically suspect an Elderly Woman of being a con gamer?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7585755/Vietnam-nurse-challenges-TSA-officer-TEN-press-ups-boarding-flight-Arlington.html

The above article stated “The
former nurse was thrilled to find she was now part of a display at the Women’s Memorial at Arlington Cemetery.”

“A photo from Wednesday shows DeSanti posing with an image of herself that was part of the exhibit.”

I contacted the Memorial at the 1-800 number furnished below:

https://www.womensmemorial.org/my-record

Yes, she is registered, but it seems they do not have much information on her.

They thought I was a Newspaper Reporter. They got VERY defensive when I asked them if they verified Military Service of any Woman who choose to register with the Museum.

They told me NO.

Am really surprised about this. I guess the Woman’s Memorial only care about $$$. The person I talked to said she was a Navy Veteran and told me she did not care if other women either embellished their Military Service or never served at all. She said it should not bother other people if someone lies.

Claw

Speaking of verifying military service, it sure would be nice to see the copy of a DD214/Retired ID Card that was used when passing the vetting process of at least four different VSOs/two colleges.

Oh, Wait, my bet is she has never been required to produce either one, as nobody wants to be the one that calls out the Crazy Old Cat Lady From Down The Street./s

ninja

Claw:

What is more interesting is when I asked the Women’s Memorial if they do ANY Veification to include a DD214, ANYTHING and the answer was “No, why should we?”

Was taken back when I heard that. The person I talked to said she was going to have a Female General (Retired) call me and then she hung up on me.

I’m shaking in my boots. I give respect to Retired Female General Officers, but in the long run, they are now R-E-T-I-R-E-D.

Margaret DeSanti has too many Enablers. Bet she is using her Deceased Husband’s DD214 with possibility of altering it, because again, how DID she get on that Honor Flight?

Daisy Cutter

A Retired General is going to call you?

The boot’s gonna drop now. 😉

ninja

I’m SOOOO scared.

NOT.

😉😊

Deckie

Then that woman should not be working for the memorial herself if she has no respect or sense of honor.

ninja

Very disenchanting that the person I talked to did not care.

She said she was a Navy Veteran.

Who knows: Perhaps she herself NEVER served, thus the reason for her being defensive.

Our conversation WAS NOT pleasant.

SFC D

It would appear that “Chicks on the Right” have deleted their post on Maggie. Thank you, Ladies! Now, kindly post the truth about her.

Disregard my last. Operator headspace and timing error.

Thank You to those who posted on Fox News 10 Phoenix by exposing her (hope the link works). She responded to one person last Friday about the story:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2627370823978115&id=108924385822784&anchor_composer=false

Her name “LTC Margaret DeSanti” along with “Phony Vietnam” needs to saturate the Internet so that those who GOOGLE her name will see the TRUTH instead of the bogus news story.

This is the Photograph of four US Army Nursing Corps Soldiers from the Women’s Memorial. Margaret DeSanti claims to be one of those women.

https://www.womensmemorial.org/history/detail/?s=1960s-the-decade

rgr769

She would likely say she is the woman in the pic wearing the large sunglasses. It would likely be impossible to say it wasn’t her but for all the info we have on her. As I recall, someone who posted here said there is no record of her ever having been licensed in New York as a registered nurse.

ninja

Info taken from previous link I posted:

“U.S.Senator John McCain presented LTC DeSanti a Lifetime Achievement Award from Maricopa Association of Combat Veterans”

Website for the Maricopa Association of Combat Veterans:

https://macv.org

“MACV is a Christian based organization that endeavors to meet the needs of all Veterans from the Korean, Vietnam, IRAQI and Afghanistan Wars, and all those involved in the ongoing war on terror no matter where the battlefield is located. MACV seeks to help all Veterans with their educational, healthcare and community endeavors.”

The Scholarship page:

https://macv.org/donations/veterans-scholarship-program/

“The Maricopa Association for Combat Veterans”

“Maggie DeSanti Scholarship for Women Veterans”

“M.A.C.V.—Mobilizing America’s Commitment to Veterans
Maggie DeSanti is the first recipient of the MACV Lifetime Achievement Award. She was a M.A.S.H. nurse in Vietnam who proudly served our country for more than 20yrs in the Army, in both times of peace and war. After 9/11, she requested and was returned to active duty where she again helped heal and care for her fellow soldiers.”

“Each semester the Maricopa Association of Combat Veterans will award one deserving female Veteran enrolled in any Maricopa Community College a $1,000 scholarship. Qualified Candidates will be collected through the MCC District Office and final selection will be made by the MACV Board of Directors.”

ninja

Please note what the article states:

“After 9/11, she requested and was returned to active duty where she again helped heal and care for her fellow soldiers.”

SERIOUSLY? Margaret DeSanti was born in 1935. She would have been 66 years old in 2001.

The US Army recalled a 66 year old to Active Duty to be an Army Nurse?

(Rhetorical Question).

Oh, I forgot. She can do “pushups”.

Keepin' It Real

They needed someone that could repel into a hot LZ with a full pack and she was the only one with experience.

ninja

🤣😂😃😅😆

Well, at least she’s not wearing the Bullwinkle Badge.

😉

BUT, she IS wearing Airborne Wings.

Bet she has ZERO, NADA pictures of herself in Uniform during her “time” as an Army Nurse in Vietnam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm and now OEF/OIF.

Wonder if she ever got a Nursing Degree? She got married in 1954 at the age of 19.

She would have been 33-35 years old from 1968-1970. She had a Husband and possibly 2 Children during that timeframe and her Family told her “Sure, go away and join the Army and go to Vietnam.”

I doubt that EVER happened.

I think she might have lost it after her Husband died in 1986. Then again, she might have had mental issues all her life.

I think she knows her lies have gotten out of hand, but chooses not to tell folks the truth. Perhaps she is one lonely individual who thrives on attention.

It is so obvious she only cares about herself which is ironic considering she has told others she was an Army Nurse.

Combat Historian

As discussed previously on TAH, it appears that Maggoty Maggie may have developed an apparent fixation with the helo shootdown and capture of MAJ Rhonda Cornum in Jan 1991 during DS, and began a wholesale transformation of her identity and persona to that of BG (Ret.) Cornum.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Maggoty Maggie here had attempted to send fan mail and correspondence to BG Cornum after Cornum’s release from Iraqi captivity in 1991…

Dustoff

I had the honor of being stationed with, and the privilege of flying a high risk neonate mission with Rhonda Cornum at Ft. Rucker AL in the late 80s. I’ve never met Maggie but I can say without hesitation she’s no Rhonda Cornum.

rgr769

I would love to know when she claims to have gone to Airborne School at my Alma Mater, the Benning School for Wayward Boys. In my class in 1968, there were no Army nurses. Having served most of my service in paratroop and Special Forces units, the only females in know of in these bad old days who went to jump school were enlisted WAC parachute riggers.

rgr769

I would also like to know where and when she went to nursing school.

OWB

All that and the simple fact that none of the services were all that anxious to have married women in their ranks, much less women with children. So, sure, a married woman with children was sent to Viet Nam. Uh-huh. /sarc

And for two years, OWB.

Yep, her Family did not miss her at all.

Pound Sand, Maggie DeSanti.

I don’t care how old you are.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Read this if you dare, Phony Attention Seeking Maggie and all of her Enablers:

“Fallen Army Nurse Corps Warriors from the Vietnam War”

https://e-anca.org/History/Topics-in-ANC-History/Fallen-RVN-ANCs

“On the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall are etched the names of nine Army nurses and one Air Force nurse who died while assigned in Vietnam. They answered the call to serve, knowing full well that they might not return. Military nurses are grateful and humbled by their commitment to duty and their sacrifice.”

Dustoff

Yes, we always had 50 “Flight Nurses” on stand-by, just in case our Dustoff Medics weren’t quite up to it. Oh yeah, (almost forgot) and they would rappel from the aircraft because using the standard rescue hoist would be…well..just too pussy.

rgr769

So you had round eye pussies onboard who refused to puss-out. My God, where did you find such women?

rgr769

As I said yesterday on the WOT, the story about her rappelling out of Dustoff helicopters to save the wounded is total bullshit. Didn’t happen ever in the case of Army nurses. As someone who served in the Viet of the Nam in 1970, when DeSanti claims she was there, I had occasion to call for Dustoff medevacs when people were wounded or became ill or injured in the jungle. When we were in triple or double canopy jungle, often there was no place to land the bird, so the wounded, injured or ill man was extracted using the jungle penetrator, a bullet shaped device with three fold down arms; we knew or were instructed via the radio how to put the man onto the legs and clip him to it with a strap. He was then hoisted up to the hovering helo and pulled onboard. There were no Army nurses involved in this activity. I personally watched what Army nurses did on several occasions when going to the evac hospital to visit and check on wounded men. The nurses only involvement with the Dustoff Hueys was helping get the wounded off the aircraft onto to a gurney. My Army nurse wife also says she never heard of any Army nurse ever rappelling out of a helicopter to treat wounded; she also confirms she never received any rappelling training at the Army Nurse Corps Basic course, even though while attending, she volunteered to go to Vietnam as her first assignment. I am quite familiar with rappelling out of Hueys in Vietnam. It was part of the Recondo training received by every LRRP/Ranger team member in Vietnam. We were trained in rappelling and using a rope ladder system as a means of insertion where there was no feasible landing zone (LZ). It was not a means of getting medical care for the wounded. (The PJ story provided by Mason yesterday is the apparent the exception.) DeSanti also lies when she says there were four Army nurses on each Dustoff helicopter in her unit attached to the 1st CAV.

Great information, rgr769.

You were there.

Margaret DeSanti wasn’t.

Your wife was an Army Nurse.

Margaret DeSanti wasn’t.

Anyone noticed her wearing the Army Service Ribbon in the two pictures of her depicted here to include Airborne Wings?

https://honorflightarizona.smugmug.com/Fall-2019/October-15-17-2019/

Her deceased Husband was Air Force, which was probably where she came up with “Capt” instead of “CPT” for an O3 Rank.

She probably has NO CLUE about the US Army Nursing Corps except by what she watched on TV (China Beach) or the new (Rhonda Cornum) or movies. In fact, she probably has no clue about the US Army.

Question for US Army Vietnam Veterans who served “Boots on the Ground”: Any of you all have the Army Service Ribbon?

The ASR only dates back to the 1980’s. Soldier would have to have service after 8/1/81 in order to rate the ASR.

Hondo

Correct. However, anyone who served during Vietnam AND also served after 1 Aug 1981 would be entitled to wear it. Since she claims – almost certainly falsely – to have served post-9/11, if true that would make her ASR legit.

Claw

I Do! I Do! I am a holder of the much coveted and highly sought after Gay Pride Ribbon. Not because I was a Boots On Ground in Vietnam type of soldier, but because I was retroactively awarded it due to being on Army Active Duty on 01 Aug 1981.

That ribbon, along with the AOSR and NCOPDR are what pumps up my meager bling rack to the highly decorated/mega-proportions that is all the rage in media reporting now-a-days./s

Nope. No such critter back in my day; my last reserve component unit was in 1980. When was it created?

Margaret DeSanti probably had Mental issues for YEARS, yet it is obvious that no one has put a STOP to her lies, especially her Enablers.

One commenter on a Facebook story about Margaret DeSanti stated that the reason the FOIA came back as “No Service” was because the VA is notorious for losing records.

How many times have we heard that?

Waitinh for Margaret DeSanti and her Enablers to come up “Records were burned in the fire” or “Maggie was on a Secret Classified Mission” (Ole Bob Glaves).

BTW, in the picture, I think she is wearing a Medal that Ole Lester Kent Brown also claims. The DS/DS Medal.

And of course, she is sporting the NDSM (but it looks as if she is only claiming ONE! GASP!)

“the VA is notorious for losing records”

But but I thought they were protected and
the VA would never share them with any
other agency…ever. Then why did I just
have to submit a “opt out” form to
protect my own records?

Margaret DeSanti not only has a FREE Round Trip Airplane ticket from Arizona to DC, but also FREE Hotel expenses and meals!

https://honorflightaz.org/veterans/faqs/

There was a waiting list for Vietnam Veterans for the Honor Flight from Arizona.

She not only STOLE Valor, but also ROBBED an AUTHETIC Vietnam Veteran from making that Flight.

The Flight should be returning this Thursday. Wonder how many ignorant folks to include her Enablers and the local News Media and the Arizona Honor Flight gurus are going to gush over her?

The same with the American Legion Posts mentioned.

Say, did she ever make claim to a VFW Post?

Wish Military Phonies would do a page on Margaret De Santi. The more exposure she gets about her lies, the better. A DOUBLE WHAMMY for her.

Hack Stone

Is she still in DC. Maybe Hack Stone can take her on a behind the scenes tour of the National Capital Region. We can start in Bethesda and she can see the former headquarters of a proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the federal government, now restored to its former historical glory (no mailbox door), and wrap things up with a walking tour of Barry Farms in Southeast DC.

Sapper3307

We a have one of them medics next door in NH. She says she wounded on a Desert Storm medavac in Saudi Araba. And “shielded the wounded with her own body when the bullets tore thru her”. I was expecting to read that she refused the MOH because she was just doing her job.

rgr769

Wounded by bullets in Saudi Arabia? I guess she was hit with friendly fire, since there were none of Saddam’s trigger pullers outside Iraq’s borders other than those in Kuwait. Maybe you should get her a history book about Desert Storm so she can up her game.

OWB

We had some evac nurses at my base over there during DS/DS. If anything like this had happened, you’d think just maybe we might have heard about it.

The lies are just astounding.

“We deleted a story we posted yesterday that garnered a lot of attention. We took down the link because the person turned out to be stolen valor. We’re pissed because we really try to share positive stories in the veteran community. And before we get accused of picking on a woman, here’s the article.

A Note From Honor Flight Arizona About Margaret DeSanti on their Facebook Page (she is not mentioned):

The news is FINALLY getting around!

https://www.facebook.com/honorflightaz/posts/2547062152013646

“For the first time in 11 years, Honor Flight Arizona has received reports that a veteran who participated in a recent Honor Flight trip may have misrepresented or embellished their military service. We appreciate the concern over this matter that has been expressed by our community and we want to let everyone know that we take this very seriously. Due to privacy considerations, we cannot share more information on this matter.”

For those who have FACEBOOK, this was posted about 8 minutes ago. There are currently about 3 comments.

PLEASE provide comments to them if you can. The more the better.

Hopefully, this won’t happen again in the future.

OMG!!!!!

Just 1 minute ago on “The Five” on FOX News, at the end,
Degan McDowell did a 15 Second segment on Margaret DeSenti!

FOX showed the “pushup” clip and Degan mentioned DeSanti rappeling off helicopters!

UNBELIEVABLE!

ninja

Time to light up “The Five” Facebook Page!

https://m.facebook.com/TheFiveFNC/

Degan McDowell did the 15 segment.

That makes 2 that I am disappointed in today:

The Women’s Memorial and The Five (Fox News).

🙁

P.S. Military Phonies: PLEASE expose Margaret on your page before she returns to Arizona on Thursday. The more exposure on her, the better. She needs to be STOPPED.

She is now saying she has a Brain Tumor!

5th/77th FA

Baby Sister got in on Fox 5 and AZ Honor Flight FB and left some Love. Thanks for the linkies. We’ve hit everyone that she could get into the comments since this Fire Mission was called. We’ll fire til the tubes melt.

Margaret DeSanti, to quote Chevy Chase, “you ignorant slut!”

I feel bad for Honor Flight Arizona. This is seriously gonna bite them in the ass. The next batch of vets that fly with them are going to have to provide a metric shit-ton of proof because of the mess this lying twatwaffle has created.

ninja

SFC D:

You are right. They are a Non-Profit Organization that rely on donations.

I feel more for potential Veterans.

A couple of years ago, an Honor Flight from Texas flew a Vietnam Veteran who claimed to be a Vietnam POW.

The local Texas News Media did a story on him.

He was NOT a POW. Honor Flight Texas did nothing about it. The News Media did nothing.

Jonn posted the story on TAH with the guy’s FOIA. To this day, not a peep from all guilty parties.

ninja

Don’t forget:

Margaret DeSanti is also claiming to be “one of the first two Women Firefighter in New York”!

Next thing she will say is that she was supposed to be one of the First Female Astronauts and that she helped Al Gore invent the Internet.

I am serious when I say this Woman has HUGE, SERIOUS Mental Issues. She has told too many inconsistant lies.

She has conned folks in believing her tall tales.

She needs to be STOPPED before she ruins other organizations’s reputation.

The Stranger

Phony firefighter? That’ll piss off Whitey for sure. Hell, I commanded firefighter detachments in the Army, so this broad is pissing ME off on two levels.

Yep, she’s full of shit on the Firefighter angle too. Here’s a page that if you scroll down, on the right side has a roster / photo of the first class of women firefighters in FDNY.. her name is NOT included.

Ex-PH2

Well, if she’s strong enough to do pushups, wouldn’t she be strong enough to handle The Hose, too? Why not test her?

And also, since she claims to be a nurse, get out the standard tests for registered nurses and start quizzing her.

ninja

GREAT FIND, SFC D! Great work!

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Folks, this is an Excerpt from the article.

An Enabler that is in Denial!

Jerry Walker of the Maricopa Association For Combat Veterans. He claims he knew her when she was recalled to Active Duty and knew her as a CPT in the Army Nursing Corps!

Time to research Jerry Walker!

“According to another biography, for a scholarship created in her name by the Maricopa Association for Combat Veterans, DeSanti requested and was returned to active duty after Sept. 11, 2001, when she would have been already in her 60s.

Jerry Walker, president of that organization, called any accusations regarding DeSanti’s military service “ridiculous,” saying he knew she had been recalled to active duty.

“I knew her when she was a captain in the Nurse Corps,” he said. “She’s a really good person.”

ninja

Is this him?

If so, he lost:

What a clown.

Do a “stop action” on the video after she gets up from the “pushups.”
She is now wearing a Senior Parachutist Badge (yes, that takes years on status, 30 jumps — with additional requirements such as mass tactical, combat equipment, etc. — don’t forget Jumpmaster Qualification), this for a woman who would have to be 38 years old in order to graduate from the first female Airborne course (December 1973, for those paying attention, then serve more years on status until at least age 40, with jumpmaster school, all while an Army nurse …

but wait, there’s more …

That same freeze frame will show she is wearing Air Force Senior Pilots wings. And that requires:
– Well, you have to be in the Air Force,and
– Seven years flight status, and
– 2,000 hours of flight time (or 1,500 hours instructor time).

So I’m throwing the bullshit card on her AND the “news broadcasters” publishing the bull shit.

ninja

Charles, yep on her Air Force Senior Pilot Wings.

Again, her deceased Husband was Air Force.

Another “Air Force” mistake on her part. She Self-Identified as a Retired “Capt” instead of “CPT”.

Those who served or are serving as an Army O3 can relate on what I am saying.

rgr769

The wings she is sporting, other than the jump wings, are Air Force Flight Nurse wings not pilot wings. Earlier photos show her wearing the basic of the three levels of these wings, she has now apparently advanced herself to the “senior” level, with the star. In some earlier photos, you can make out the caduceus emblem on them. After all, in her Walter Mitty world she was a “combat flight nurse” (a job description that has never existed in the Army). We had flight nurses in the Army, but not since the U.S. Army Air Corps became the Air Force branch of service in about 1947. All three types of this aviation badge are shown and discussed on Wikipedia.

ninja

I hope that rude person at the Women’s Memorial sees the Military.com story.

The one that did not care about Phonies.

I hope others here realize now that the Womens Memorial does not verify Military Service.

Wonder how many Phonies are in their Database.

Their survival is based on donations.

What a shame and a disservice to REAL Women Veterans.

This obnoxious, self-serving, attention-seeking old cow is one reason I stay away from things like Honor Flights. And her “story” keeps changing with the weather report.

This time, she’s profited from SV, and you know what that means.

Ex:

I bet nothing will happen to her because of her “age”, which would really be a shame, because if she gets away wit this AGAIN, then she will keep repeating the SAME erractic behavior.

She should be ashamed of herself, but since she lives in her own Bubble, her own Alternate Reality World, lying probably does not bother her.

Narcissism is her Forte.

I was going to ask them that question ninja, but could not find a contact or comment section on the posted web page. I did see and read an article referring to a PFC Antonio Garcia. He was one of the Soldiers killed in the accident at Ft Stewart. PFC Garcia was from Peoria Arizona. This would be one of the local bodies who shed his blood that the scrunt fake Army Nurse Margaret DeSanti is standing on.

Losing one of their own should help give them the integrity to run the truthful story of the lying valor thief Margaret DeSanti.

explain how an 84-year-old can earn

(2) a 2001-2019 Post 9/11 Medal

This is about to get much, much worse for Aunt Peg.

Also, how does she rate a Good Cookie? If she was commissioned as a nurse with no prior enlisted service, she wouldn’t be able to earn one as an officer. Of course, that’s all elementary since she never served, right?

I never met a WW II veteran who served in support of OEF or OIF. I did encounter a couple Army warrant officer helicopter pilots in their 60s who were Viet of the Nam veterans.

I also remember a physician (COL) who was 74 going through the CONUS Replacement Center at Fort Benning. He recently served in Iraq and was now doing a 90 day rotation to Germany. But he was not a WW II veteran.

IDC SARC

We had a WWII vet on ship’s company…he was 73 or 74 and that was in 1988-89. He was the oldest crew member and the only WWII vet onboard. He was a retired Masterchief and got permission to serve again to be the Command DAPA.
