Soldier accused of lying about Vietnam Purple Hearts, Afghanistan attack

LOS ANGELES - A U.S. Army soldier who prosecutors say falsely claimed to have fought in Vietnam and Afghanistan - and to have earned two Purple Heart medals and a Bronze Star for heroism - was indicted on federal charges on Wednesday, the 68th anniversary of D-Day.
Command Sergeant Major William John Roy is accused of lying about his service as he sought disability, medical and educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said.

Roy, 57, was awarded more than $27,000 in disability benefits and $30,000 in educational benefits after submitting bogus evidence of his combat wounds and bravery in action, Mrozek said.

He faces a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison if convicted at trial. According to an indictment handed down in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Roy claimed he served as a medic in Vietnam in 1974 and was twice injured in combat during that war.

Roy also claimed that he was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze star for his heroism in Vietnam -- when in fact an investigation found that he had been in Germany serving in a non-combat role at the time, Mrozek said.

Among the documentation Roy provided was a Purple Heart certificate purportedly signed by President Richard Nixon but dated four months after Nixon had resigned from office, Mrozek said.

Roy also sent a letter to the Army in 2008 seeking a Purple Heart for extensive injuries he said he sustained in a mortar and rocket attack at a forward operating base in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, when in fact he was not involved in such an incident, Mrozek said.

Roy was indicted on one count of presenting false writings to defraud the United States, three counts of making false statements to the government and three counts of stealing government property.

Mrozek said Roy, who remains on active duty, would be sent a summons to appear in federal court next month for an arraignment on the charges.
The Southwest Riverside News Network quoted Mrozek as saying the defendant, who has been in the Army for more than 35 years, was currently at home in Winchester, Calif.

PUT HIM ON THE WALL OF SHAME!!!

Vietnam in 1974 should have given it away!

[JP43]

Everything he has done is undone. What was he thinking? Must have fooled alot of people to get to E-9 before being caught. Has anyone on here served with this guy?

And he is an Active Duty CSM...What is wrong with this picture!!!?

Also, the above quotes sound eerily familiar to a recent visitor we had here.
Not saying he is one in the same...just the story reminds me of our visitor.

Wasn't that certain person living in the Cali area?

[boutaswell]

I hope they bury his ass. So many legitimate warriors and this fuckwad is spouting fairy tales. So, did he actually even make it to the sandbox?

[blackflagg509]

So sad that this POS was even allowed to serve in the ranks amongst true heroes; and even sadder that no one ever checked on his Credentials while he was rising in the enlisted ranks.

I'm glad someone got suspicious finally, bad enough he got nearly $60,000 in disability and educational payments. Unless the disability pay is for the GIANT cojones he had to try and pull this shit off...having to walk bow legged with nuts that big should have given him away.

[Old All American]

Sad.

Hummers are dropped attached to pallets using cargo chutes and are always dropped prior to personnel so as to not have both in the air at same time. Call Him Out on it!

[Para-327th]

330 lbs, and has toured A'stan three times? Doubtful someone could gain that much weight in however long he's been out. He's a Poser.

[Jeff82]

Force Recon using a HMMWV? Maybe back in garrison. I seriously doubt they'd use one in combat. It can't be lifted/loaded in Marine helicopters.

ETA: I stand corrected: CH-53's can sling load a HMMWV.
