Target

There is something very strange about the number of sources that attack my character right out of the block. It's as if the FBI had put out an all points bulletin to disempower me. Of course the FBI would not do this. What is it? What is the secrect?

Please judge for yourself, does Mr. ONeil of AZDVS make it appear as if I was trying to deceive someone with my DD214?

Antony,
“The VA will have to submit to NPRC for your records anyhow, so that should be reflected. The record from the VAMC reflects that you were Navy. Since there is already a claim folder in Honolulu for you, they should already have a DD 214 on file. We have also submitted to NPRC for your records, so you should receive a copy.
In the future, do not write information onto your official paperwork, as it invalidates the paperwork, and may actually be illegal. Veterans do not have the authority to adjust their own paperwork. If your DD 214 is missing something, then you have to submit a request to your branch of service to have a DD 215, which is a correction to the DD 214, generated. If you don't have the orders to show the award of a Combat Action Ribbon, and it is not annotated on your DD 214, then you are not authorized to wear or claim the Combat Action Ribbon. This is something that is very important, the last time I saw a veteran submit an altered DD 214 to the VA, the VA Inspector General launched an investigation of them, believing that the claimant was not the veteran, but instead stealing their identity. If you add something to your original paperwork, the VA has to presume the entire document is invalid. So if it was the one piece of paper that could prove your claim, they would not be able to use it, and could result in a denial. If you feel the need to clarify documents, we can do so seperately.
When you receive the records from NPRC, you can go into the Arizona Department of Veterans Services office that is closest to you, and they can make you certified true copies, and submit certified true copies of the NPRC records to the VA on your behalf. Or if you are up this way and would like to bring them in, I can do it for you”Brian O'Neil

I believe the "Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V" and "combat action medal amo" are the same thing. My best guess of why I mistakenly wrote my comment is because I didn't recognize the significance of "Combat "V"" at the time. It was an honest mistake. Is it not obvious that I am not trying to deceive anyone?

Why does Mr. ONeil not recognize the "Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V"?  Instead of only recognizinng my handwritten comment "Combat Action Medal" with my initials "amo"?
