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.
Active Duty ping.
Does he realize he’s in a foreign country?
I believe his father was Canadian
As a former Marine myself you stand with your allies..

Thank you Mike — I am a dual citizen and I love both my countries!
Ever Faithful,

Major of Marines
Of course. Few people in this country realize how large the contingent from the Canadians was in World War II and that they helped during Korea.
enough already...
Okay.
? Wtf is that guy wearing? Can’t remember much about medals but it looks upside down
Canada Ping!
From his bio...
He currently resides at a horse ranch he owns in Ontario, Canada.
Looks like he was a legit US by gawd Marine, and currently lives up north.
I’m more and more convinced he’s legit.
I wonder how the local press is taking this
Yes he was legit, however, guards at monuments and memorials do not have real guns in Canada...that was the real tragedy.
I took a better look, medals are in order.
Legion of Merit is on top.
Campaign medals on bottom row, in correct order.
Middle row is an NDS, NAM, NMOM, and the PHs.
Right side is various unit award and non medal ribbons.
Master jump wings and a divers badge up top.
You strike me as backpeddling now. It is obvious he is the real deal and you are trying to find a respectable way out of your calling the guy a fraud. I’m sure your dad would be proud, standing right next to him and all. Tell me I’m wrong.
He’s wearing whatever he could find for sale at a Mil-Surp store or pawn shop...the guy is a loon.
you were saying??? 
A US commissioned officer may not hold citizenship other than the US.... 10USC 532 (a)(1).
So.....
