Another phony caught out in a lie . . . what’s unusual is this time it’s a woman:
TOWN DUPED BY HER STORY OF SERVICE

MARK BRUNSWICK , Star Tribune - April 17, 2011
The town of Cass Lake embraced Elizabeth McKenzie last month when she arrived at the high school in her Army uniform for a welcome home ceremony.
Though she isn't a tribal member, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Honor Guard gave her a blanket and an eagle feather to honor her as a woman warrior for her service in Afghanistan. There was a tribal drum ceremony and a reception line. Accepting the town's gratitude, McKenzie talked about the close calls she'd had and a war injury that brought her home. She led the march in the high school gym, carrying the American flag, and the local newspaper documented the hero's return.
But none of it was true. The 20-year-old McKenzie was never injured in combat, had never been to Afghanistan, never been deployed anywhere. In fact, she's never been in the military.
Now the 2009 grad of Cass Lake High School has been cited for impersonating an officer, which in Minnesota includes the military. And the people of Cass Lake are trying to recover from feeling duped by their own good intentions.

I ran across a women locally who tried to pull the same thing. She was National Guard and never even deployed. Her stories were quite elaborate until questioned.
ReplyDeletePlease keep exposing these SL as the more people have to account for themselves, the less harm they might do.
Looks like a Reno/Napalitano "boy" toy.
