Yesterday, we discussed a little about the phony chef, Ronnie Joseph Seaton<\/a> who claimed to be a White House chef<\/a> and who was spilling the phony beans about presidents he never served. He also claimed to have been a POW and a Vietnam War veteran. He claimed that he had a Purple Heart, too. From the New York Post<\/a> story;<\/p>\n

He enlisted in the Army in May, 1973 and by the time he graduated from artillery Advanced Individual Training, combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam. He stayed in the active Army until 1980 and then spent a few years more years in the National Guard getting out of the service as an E-7, Sergeant First Class with a General Discharge, as opposed to an Honorable Discharge. No time in Vietnam, so no Purple Heart, no time as a POW.<\/p>\n

I’ve been emailing with Larry Getlen from the New York Post this morning and he says that Seaton also claimed to have earned a Bronze Star Medal, too, but, no, not according to his records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
