Last month<\/a>, I told you that Sheldon Shepherd was not a Navy SEAL despite what his obituary said;<\/p>\n

Our Partners at Military Phonies<\/a> beat us in the race to get his FOIA. Folks tell us that there is a DD214 out there that support the claims in the obits that Sheldon was a SEAL, that he earned Bronze Stars for Valor and that he’d been wounded and awarded a Purple Heart. The FOIA doesn’t support that nonsense;<\/p>\n

Not only was he not a SEAL, it looks like he never set foot in Vietnam. He was on the USS RB Anderson which was off the coast of Vietnam in 1970-1971 while he was aboard as a Radioman. It looks like he returned to Vietnam on the USS Horne in 1971-1972. No Bronze Star Medals (only 2 bronze service stars on his Vietnam Service Medal). No Purple Hearts. There is nothing that indicates that he “spent many months in the hospital recuperating from a headshot” as it has been claimed<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It looks like he was busted from E-2 to E-1 and then promoted to E-2 again just before he was ultimately discharged. But he wasn’t a SEAL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
