A veteran who collected federal benefits after faking a mental health condition and who falsely claimed to have earned two military honors was sentenced to a year in prison.
Gregg Ramsdell, 61, of Columbus was also sentenced to three years supervised release and ordered to pay $76,000 to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Ramsdell had pleaded guilty to one count of false statements and one count of violation of the Stolen Valor Act.
"Ramsdell's conduct does a disservice to all of those who exhibit true valor, serving honorably and courageously in our nation's armed forces. He will pay the penalty for claiming to be the hero he was not, and reaping monetary benefits reserved for our nation's true heroes," said U.S. Attorney Charlie Peeler.
Peeler said Ramsdell was sentenced to the top of the guideline range for the crime.
Ramsdell admitted that he falsely claimed to have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder when he applied for disability payments from the VA on Sept. 7, 2014. Ramsdell wrote he witnessed horrible atrocities during deployment in Afghanistan from October 2008 to March 2009, including "men, women and children being executed. Women holding babies while detonating themselves. IED explosions causing severe bodily injuries and death. Retrieving body parts and bagging them."
He also claimed these experiences made him "unable to live a normal life." The VA gave him added PTSD benefits retroactive to his military discharge date of June 1, 2014 totaling $76,000.
But Ramsdell was not in Afghanistan during period of time he claimed to witness the atrocities that supported his PTSD claim, and he admitted to investigators that he lied about having PTSD. In addition, Ramsdell obtained a civilian position at U.S. Army Fort Benning in 2017, in part because his resume listed that he was both a Silver Star and Purple Heart with Cluster recipient. He never received these honors.
The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 makes it a crime for people to pass themselves off as war heroes in order to claim money, employment, property or other tangible benefits.

At last count, there was less than 900 thousand VN Vets still living. That being said, it is estimated to be around 9 million claiming to be VN Vets. Ya'll remember when we were hated......now every shet bag in America, want's to be one of us.

Damn Billy, that's only 1/3 of us left if the total was 2.7 million. I remember that so many grunts that I knew torched the candle on both ends, and many of our brothers also started fires in the middle. Only occasionally today to I meet any o3's anymore. We used to be boo koo strong for so long.

People like the assswhite you mentioned should be forced to spend at least a month in the "bush" just for the experience. Maybe even have some "sport" hunters seeing if they could "find" him. At Hue my battalion only received 1 silver and 4 bronze stars and the PUC. Only 9 million wannabe's, if I remember that's dropped from about 12 million so I guess the wannabe's are dying off as well. As you know no one remembers us anymore.

The main thing I like about the sentence is that the greedy bastard will forego many things he wants in order to PAY BACK what he stole. That is the best justice. Go after the original motive, and turn it around.

Russ, we were NEVER "remembered", at least, not in a good way.... now that it is "politically correct" to "honor our veterans", we get the occasional "honorable mention" when the GWOT vets are getting their pats on the back, (which I by no means begrudge them in any way), but other than that, we are still ignored.... and the grandparents of these azzwipes that are conducting the current spate of riots across America are the very same people that spat on US and called us murderers and baby killers.... as far as I am concerned, a "half-azzed acknowledgement" in the form of a perfunctory "thank you for your service" just does NOT excuse their behavior 50+ years ago...
