Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6"
Another book that is a complete lie.....
Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6"
Seems "Staff Sergeant" Larry FitzGerald was actually discharged as a PFC.... (I have a copy of the FOIA.)
Andrew J. Rafkin has been contacted and told Larry FitzGerald is a complete fraud, but he doesn't seem to care.
This is a case of Stolen Valor, where both parties know it's a lie/fraud and both are making money off of stupid people.
Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6"
A Top Secret Story of Unparalleled Heroism... Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6," of the U.S. Army Special Forces, led a special Black Ops team deployed to Vietnam in 1965. He reported to only two men: General Westmoreland and General Abrams, who were in command of the U.S. Armed Forces. His first assignment-a suicidal mission to assassinate four enemy generals in Laos who were planning the 1967 Tet invasion-was never disclosed to the media or the public. General Westmoreland stated that Sergeant FitzGerald deserved the Medal of Honor, and nine additional Purple Hearts, but unfortunately, most of his missions were conducted across the fence of South Vietnam, in Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam. In fact, all of his missions were classified, clandestine, and denied. They have not been disclosed until now. Reaper 6 is the only biography of this extraordinary soldier's life, capturing the very sights, sounds, and smells of the Vietnam War. Today, Larry is the proverbial "last man standing" of 89 souls who went where lesser soldiers shouldn't dare.

Wow, I'm not going to get the smell of bullshit out of my computer for months....
I wonder if Col Donlon knows that this guy is such a badass and should have received the first MoH in Vietnam.

How about us posting snippets from the FOIA while discussing Stolen Valor as customer reviews.

From one of the 5-star reviews:
Quote:
I have known Larry for three years now. We are both officers of the American Legion post 311. When I first met Larry, I told him of my brother's stories of his time in Vietnam and how he had PTSD. The end to my brother's story was suicide. Larry told me many of his stories and made me swear to never reveal these stories to anybody. Andrew Rafkin knew these stories had to be included in the book and I feel that these stories gave closure to Larry. And I pray that he will never find closure in suicide as my brother had used. As I read this book, it was as if I was having Larry sitting there telling me these stories again. With Andrew's help in writing these stories, Larry was able to find closure in the writing of these stories. If there are any veterans that have had experiences like Larry's in other countries, Larry would like to hear from you. Please write to Larry at American Legion Post 311, 44355 40th St. East, Lancaster, CA, 93535. I would like to thank Andrew for writing this book and giving such an accurate account of Larry's life experience. I would highly recommend this book to any adult who would like to know the truth about the secret missions of the Vietnam war.

Anyone who gave that anymore than one star is a fool (and there were more than a few). Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald aka "Reaper 6" (not!) is a liar and a fraud.
