Stolen Valor: L. Ron Hubbard's Phony Medals
The Church of Scientology
falsely
claims that L. Ron Hubbard was a decorated World War II combat
veteran who earned a purple heart with palm (equivalent to two
purple hearts) and numerous other medals. These bogus claims have
been thoroughly debunked by Chris Owen's research, published at
Ron the
"War Hero".
Yet Scientology continues to lie about L. Ron Hubbard's war
record. A recent example is their fraudulent claims made to Mark
Sommer of the Buffalo News, reported
here. The lies are repeated in this press
release.
Scientlogy's claims are easily refuted by obtaining copies of
Hubbard's actual service
record from the Navy, which several journalists, including
Sommer, have done. Yet Scientology continues to peddle its lies, to
the outrage
of veterans.
The proposed Stolen Valor Act of
2005, sponsored by Colorado Congressman John T. Salazar, may
finally put a stop to this fraud.
