A number of media sources are reporting there is an official Army investigation of whether Plumley wore and claimed awards unauthorized awards.
Smells like BS, Can you post the Yahoo article?
They’ve also reported that the commander at Fort Benning has confirmed there are discrepancies in the records and that Plumley’s gravestone may have to be changed.
Is Aloha Ronnie still around?
Awards he didn’t deserve? Doesn’t that qualify him for Secretary of State in the Obama administration?
The guy behind this is a “professional” nitpicker who likes to find “faults/conspiracies.” The point here is that CSM Plumley was in the glider regiment of either the 101st or 82nd Airborne on D-Day and landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944 by glider rather than landed by parachute. I don’t know if Plumley landed in Holland by parachute or glider, but the glider guys also got extra pay. When it came to the Battle of the Bulge, both divisions were deployed from Mourmolon to the Ardennes by truck.
As far as “Official Records” go, some of those were originally entered by some PFC in S-1 and signed by a 1St Sgt or 2nd Lt with a few dozen other things on his mind.
Individual decorations - sure. Someone has a photo you getting the award pinned on.
I have a Presidential Unit Citation which was in my SRB and is on my DD-214, but I can’t find any info or details of it with online records searches. I know when we were told we were getting it and what for, but I can’t find any “Official Records” other than my DD-214.
So, is it real, or am I just another candidate for some armchair JAG looking for ‘stolen valor’?
