Dear Frank;

You, know maybe it is because it is this week, but I am not a very happy camper right now. With some others, I just helped to “out” Bob Levy, the Mayor of Atlantic City, NJ for posing as a Green Beret Vietnam war hero, when he was; just like you, a Vietnam veteran who should have been simply proud of his service. Instead, you disrespected my friend, Sgt Nick, who referred you to me, and tred to steal the honor of every other Vietnam veteran who actually DID earn the myriad of medals you claim. I cannot believe you would be so damned stupid as to send photos of yourself to me, a real Green Beret, and you wear a Green Beret, which you have never earned, with both the flash and the fold of the beret on the wrong side of your head. Nobody in SF would ever screw up that badly.

            You never went to Jump School, you phony lying piece of crap, and display a Master Parachutist badge. You were a Spec 4 in Vietnam, and claimed to be a Green Beret staff sergeant, which my son really is who just returned from Iraq. You were an engineer with the Cav, yet you display not only the jump wings and CIB, but the Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, not 1 but 2 Silver Stars, a POW medal, Purple Hearts, Bronze Stars, ad infinitum. You try to portray yourself as a wheelchair-bound vet when your paralysis actually came from a car wreck, not Vietnam. My step-brother lost his leg to “real” bullets with the 1^st Cavalry Division you phony, dishonorable piece of scum. You were discharged as an E4 on my birthday January 8 in 1973 with a National Defense medal, Good Conduct Medal, and your Vietnam “breather” ribbons, with both your legs working, and that’s it, and you have the gall to write me and insult me even more on Veterans Day.  You threw away your right to be even thanked as a veteran when you tossed your honor down the drain to pose as something you are not. I pray to God you do not have children and grand-children, because you are passing on a legacy of dishonor and deceit to them, if you do. Sometimes, all we have to leave our children is our good name and our honor. Look what you leave your offspring, lies and stolen valor. You titled your message “A Proud Vietnam veteran?” Talk about gall!

            We who are in, or were in, Special Forces are sick and tired of phonies like you, who never even had the balls to jump out of a plane and earn Jump Wings much less go through all the hell that we did, and my sons did,  to be the only 3 out of every 100 who try, who actually earn the Green Beret. You were already exposed last year as a phony by the POW Network and are listed as a phony on their site http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies240.htm ,  yet you still send pictures of your self trying to look like a wheelchair-bound Audie Murphy and still try to blow smoke up people’s asses, and convince them they are sitting on chimneys. I also found out that my friend Doug Sterner served with you in the Cav, and when he exposed your deceit last year before some other vet friends, they didn’t have the balls to stand behind Doug, so that makes them accomplices when somebody tries to steal the  honor of others as far as we all are all concerned. When I say “we,” I am speaking for the myriad of real Green Berets who are BCCed on this email, a list which reads like a WHO’s WHO of the US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES including “REAL” Medal of Honor and DSC recipients.

            I told the Mayor of Atlantic City, several times, before he apologized to the men of Special Forces on Friday, that he WOULD apologize to all of us, and he did. He had no choice. Why anybody would be dumb enough to pick Green Berets to disrespect is beyond me! It is incomprehensible. You would be 10 times smarter to disrespect the Crips, Bloods, or MS13 gang. My gang wears Olive Drab and our headgear is forest green, and it is the most-elite, most-dangerous, highest-trained, baddest gang in the history of the world, and you try to claim you are one of us when you have not earned the right? Real genius, Frank . . .not.

            You tried to portray yourself as a member of MAC-V/SOG, Special Forces, a recipient of the DSC, the nation’s second-highest award for valor and just about every medal the army has. A POW MEDAL?????  In my opinion, you have got to be either on drugs, mentally ill, or just plain stupid. But, you were warned by Doug Sterner a year ago, trying to keep you out of trouble, but now you have stepped on it with track shoes, pal. You just had to keep up the fraud, and besides the SF personnel I mentioned BCCed herein and men who disrespected Doug Sterner before you had lied to them so convincingly, but this has also gone to the FBI for fraud investigation.

            It is so sad that someone who actually served in Vietnam could not simply just be proud of that. That was honorable, but you have disgraced yourself, the men of your unit, the army, and other Vietnam veterans with your outrageous dishonesty. Why did you get so greedy? And why in God’s name would you be dumb enough to try to send photographs of yourself trying to come off as something you’re not, to the people you are posing as, and who actually walk the walk? You owe a public apology to my friend Nick Donovito, the men, and past and present of the US Army Special Forces. That would be the first intelligent thing you can do. Do not insult me further with any of the common bullshit lines like your records are sealed in a Top Secret vault or any of the other crap phonies try. You have disgraced yourself and your family and need to stand up (not literally), grow some balls, and be a man. I am sure you acted like one when you went to Vietnam, but somewhere along the way, forgot what it takes to be a man.  I have attached your phony photos so real vet heroes can have a good laugh. By the way, you were not even smart enough to put your supposed staff sergeant stripes on your jungle fatigues. Also, do not even try the BS line you did with Doug last year saying it is not my business. It most certainly is, when you try to steal the honor and valor of others, and I am one of them.

            We will not have this discussion again, period.
