These people are a compilation of veterans and civilians who are all flirting with stolen valor by wearing the ACU's with badges put on they didn't actually earn. I recently became a member of this non-governmental organization to serve my community for if and when disasters happen in my area.
In this last meeting there was a discussion about how an Army national guard soldier was taking pictures of members of this unit wearing the ACU's. I spoke up informed everyone that I was issued ACU's when they first came to the Army and that I have done combat operations in this uniform. I explained that the reason why former or current soldiers are more than likely will approach you when you wear it because there is a lot of emotional ties that goes with this uniform.I have told them that I have known more than a few soldiers who died while wearing the ACU's. It seemed like no one really cared after I have told them about how I felt about it.
I tried to correct a Command Sergeant Major of this Unit who was wearing the Army Dress Blues that his blue infantryman chord needs to be on the right side of his shoulder and If I could help him fix it. His response was "oh it's like that because he's honor guard." Anyone who has ever earned the blue chord knows better than that.
If this organization supposedly complies with UCMJ and Army regulations then wtf is up with higher ranking people of this organizations unfamiliarity with AR670-1. It pisses me off being around some of these people for the simple fact I know that some of these guys are phonies.
I intend to continue being a member and gain a higher rank so I can have a voice to speak up to restore honor and integrity within this organization.

The National Guard has the same problem. I'm surprised you never saw a PX soldier on active duty. It is not ACU's that make up the military it is your brothers, worry about final honors rather than a piece of cloth. https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=66903
Eric Vasconselles is not an Army captain with 25 years of service

There appears to be a misconception about stolen valor. In a recent supreme court ruling, the wearing of military awards not earned is NOT stolen valor. To clarify ,I too am a member of the USNRC and a 28 year veteran of the US Army and Reserves, know the wearing of decorative awards by members of the unit members not earned is NOT condoned. This misinformation comes from someone who attended one 4 hour training session.

This is certainly interesting. I will have to look into this FB page when I get home from work. Do they have any other kind of web page other than their FB?

If you go on fb page and click on about, you will find a link to another webpage. The U.S. National Reserve Coprs is the new Alabama State Defense Force I believe. Please understand I'm only trying to restore honor to those in this Unit who falsely claims what they didn't actually earn.
