Ottawa Canada – Since the terrorist attack in Canada that took the life of CPL. Nathan Cirillo, a guy in a Marine uniform sporting five Purple Hearts has been guarding the Canadian National War memorial. The below interview was done with him, and we began getting emails and wall posts from everyone wanting to know if he was really a Marine.
He goes by the name of Major “Fox” Sinke, and he stated, Courtesy of Global News:
“ “That’s how I see it. So I’m paying tribute to him, as best I can. We are not intimidated. Take your best shot.”
Sinke was wearing a Marine uniform as he marched around the National War Memorial.
“There are those of us who understand what’s happening and we’re not gonna lie down for it,” he said. “Not gonna happen. That’s basically why I’m here. I’m just here to make my own little personal damn statement.”
So we did some digging and reached out to our contacts to find out more about Major Sinke, and we can tell you that not only did this man serve as a Marine, he was a highly decorated Marine! He is taking a stand for what he believes is right, and yes he has five Purple Hearts. This man is a true American and Canadian Hero, we salute you Sir and the stand you are taking!!!
Below are his records: -excerpt-
Again, we salute Major Sinke for his stand at the National War Memorial in Canada, and for his service to both of our countries. Major Sinke has also authored several books detailing his experiences in the Vietnam War, one is titled When None Of Their Dreams Are Dead.
Isn’t it public record as to which servicemen have received Purple Hearts?
Five is a lot — surely there is some mention of it somewhere.
That’s all wonderful, but is his weapon loaded? or for show?
???
Who, exactly is that?
Another fake soldier.
Stolen valor, same as the guy in Canada.
WTF?
It’’s voluntary....http://www.thepurpleheart.com/recipient/
Are you saying Sinke is a fraud?
Unless this guy is an imposter, I don’t see it that way.
Those records at the link look pretty convincing to me...and the site/links “mission” is to uncover frauds and they appear to be convinced he’s the real deal.
To claim this Major is a fraud without any additional information is premature to say the least.
My nephew has six purple hearts and two bronze stars (one with valour) and I've never found any public record of them.
That’s the way I read it.
Military ping...

So are you saying the article and docs provided at the link are fake?
Just on a quick visual, his awards are in the right order and not over blown. The docs at the link seem in order.
But I didn’t do the research myself, so I can’t vouch for any of it.
Just curious why you claim he’s a fake.
Heaven’s no! My father would be right next to him were he still alive. [groan]
