SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (AP) -- William Lawson looked every bit the retired Marine general this summer as he stood before a crowd of 200 people, demanding that a cemetery properly dispose of the American flags placed at the graves of veterans. He had on khakis, the Marines' summer service uniform, complete with a general's stars and row after row of medals, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Good Conduct Medal. He even wore an eye patch. It turns out, however, that Lawson wasn't a general at all -- or even a World War II combat veteran. His 19 months in the Marines were all spent stateside -- he ended boot camp after Iwo Jima -- and he never rose above the rank of private first class. Lawson, 78, admitted the charade after being confronted with his records in interviews with The Marine Corps Times and The (Shreveport, Louisiana) Times. The media checks occurred after Lawson appeared at the flag rally in late June... http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/10/fak....ap/index.html Doan On 10 Aug 2005 wrote: 10th Annual International Conference on Family Violence September 18 -21, 2005 Town & Country Resort and Convention Center San Diego, CA Online registration and program information: www.fvsai.org Tel: 858-623-2777 x 403 A multi-disciplinary comprehensive event for over 1500 practitioners, advocates, researchers, policy-makers, survivors and students focused on Domestic Violence =B7 Child Maltreatment =B7 Elder Abuse =B7 Youth Violence =B7 Sexual Assault =B7 Trauma =B7 Meets Licensing/Certification requirements for domestic violence, child abuse, aging/elder care, ethics, child custody and traumatic stress =B7 Up to 27 hours of CE credits for Pre-Conference, Conference and Post-Conference sessions =B7 Up to 16 hours of CE credits for the Affiliated Training Institutes for Psychologists, Nurses, MFTs, LCSWs, Counselors, Attorneys, CAADAC =B7 Pending approval for Physicians, Child Custody Evaluators, DV Offender Treatment Providers and Law Enforcement 16 conference tracks, with over 300 faculty presenting, including: Clinical Techniques * Advocacy/Prevention/Policy Collaboration * Best Practices/Interventions * Children Exposed to Family Violence * Child Maltreatment * Elder Abuse/Vulnerable Adults/Disability * Healthcare/Substance Abuse * Multicultural/Ethnic Diversity/Faith * Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice * Offenders * Legal Interventions/Judicial/Child Custody * Current Research/Assessment * Sexual Assault/Sexual Abuse/Sex Crimes * Trauma/Education * Victims/Victimization/Survivors * Youth Violence * Video Session Special Appearances: Victor Rivers, actor (The Mask of Zorro, CSI Miami ...), survivor, activist, author Marilyn Van Durber, former Miss America, survivor, activist, author "Miss America By Day" Angela Shelton, survivor, filmmaker "Searching for Angela" Affiliated Training Institutes and Mini-Conference: Sept. 16-17 Register Early for Conference Discounts: www.fvsai.org Cost Effective Pricing starting from $300 with special package rates SPONSORED BY: Family Violence & Sexual Assault Institute Alliant International University Children's Institute International Jordan Riak, Exec.

The "Conference" Kane posted about was funny enough!
Did you notice all of the stuff about the ACTORS showing up, and the parts about how this boondoggle counts for PROFESSIONAL Continuing Education Units?? Golly, will they start giving the system suckups professional credits for going to their neighborhood MOVIE THEATRE and watching FICTION?? Perhaps they can start giving out CEU's for every DVD they rent or check out of a library? After all, the ACTOR from the mask of Zorro counts! Additionally, since this crap meets "certification requirements" for various so-called professions, just what the heck ARE the requirements, that such crap conforms? I pointed out long ago in this newsgroup that CPS caseworkers have actually watched an NBC or ABC "Movie of the Week" depicting Munchhausens or Satanic ritual Child Abuse and then the idiots see themselves as QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS! The description of the ""Conference"" that Kane posted truly supports this idea, that COMMERCIAL FICTIONAL or DRAMATIZED entertainment actually passes as PROFESSIONAL TRAINING to these morons! Clearly the standards for PROFESSIONAL TRAINING are incredibly pathetic! ....Town & Country Resort and Convention Center San Diego, CA ....Meets Licensing/Certification requirements for domestic violence, child abuse, aging/elder care, ethics, child custody and traumatic stress ....Up to 27 hours of CE credits for Pre-Conference, Conference and Post-Conference sessions ....Up to 16 hours of CE credits for the Affiliated Training Institutes for Psychologists, Nurses, MFTs, LCSWs, Counselors, Attorneys, CAADAC ....Special Appearances: Victor Rivers, actor (The Mask of Zorro, CSI Miami, survivor, activist, author Marilyn Van Durber, former Miss America, survivor, activist, author "Miss America By Day" Angela Shelton, survivor, filmmaker "Searching for Angela" They're onto you Commander McBrag! http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/10/fak....ap/index.html Man admits posing as general Wednesday, August 10, 2005; Posted: 8:31 a.m. EDT (12:31 GMT) William Lawson, wearing a Marine a uniform full of medals, speaks at a funeral home in Shreveport, Louisiana, on June 22. It's something that snowballed. -- William Lawson It just tears me up. It's heartbreaking. -- Veteran Elmo Norton SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (AP) -- William Lawson looked every bit the retired Marine general this summer as he stood before a crowd of 200 people, demanding that a cemetery properly dispose of the American flags placed at the graves of veterans. He had on khakis, the Marines' summer service uniform, complete with a general's stars and row after row of medals, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Good Conduct Medal.

His 19 months in the Marines were all spent stateside -- he ended boot camp after Iwo Jima -- and he never rose above the rank of private first class. Lawson, 78, admitted the charade after being confronted with his records in interviews with The Marine Corps Times and The (Shreveport, Louisiana) Times. The media checks occurred after Lawson appeared at the flag rally in late June. "It's something that snowballed," he said in stories that appeared in both newspapers this week. Lawson did not answer his home telephone Monday when called by The Associated Press. The Marine Corps Times said Lawson could face federal charges for wearing unearned medals and false rank insignia, and the Marine Corps inspector general is investigating. According to the published reports, Lawson said he lived in Florida most of his adult life after his discharge in August 1946 and that he worked in the insurance, plastics and manufacturing fields until he retired and moved to Louisiana in the 1990s to be closer to his wife's family. He said he transferred his American Legion membership and somebody at the Shreveport post thought he was a retired general -- he said he doesn't know why. He went along with it, eventually agreeing to make public appearances at various Shreveport-area veterans' events. For Elmo Norton, a Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War and the new commander of the American Legion Post, the news was crushing. "It just tears me up," Norton said. "It's heartbreaking." Lawson had passed out coins -- the kind of metal tokens generals and some senior enlisted give out in a long-followed military tradition. He even passed out coins at a recent post event to Marines from Bravo Company who just returned from a yearlong mobilization in Iraq. "I'm shocked," said Shayne McGinty, a captain with Bravo Company. "It's not right, when there are Marines over there getting killed. It angers me and shocks me that he would do this." |

Greegor wrote: The "Conference" Kane posted about was funny enough! You think conferences on child abuse are funny? Did you notice all of the stuff about the ACTORS showing up, and the parts about how this boondoggle counts for PROFESSIONAL Continuing Education Units?? greegor continues developing his reading comprehension skills. Did you miss why they were there as presenters? Golly, will they start giving the system suckups professional credits for going to their neighborhood MOVIE THEATRE and watching FICTION?? Oh, maybe when they are about reality, as the conference was. I doubt, unless they parallel reality the 'FICTION' presentations will pass. On the other hand, I wouldn't give a nickel to see your story as either one, fiction or fact. For it's really neither. It's a lie, perpetrated on Lisa. From the very beginning. Perhaps they can start giving out CEU's for every DVD they rent or check out of a library? Why would they do that? As compared to attending a conference of and by professionals and to hear former victims of parental child abuse speak out? After all, the ACTOR from the mask of Zorro counts! Didn't bother to see what his background was, did you, greegor? He is a former victim of child abuse. That comprehension thing just doesn't jell for you, right? You see the words but you don't integrate their meaning. Additionally, since this crap meets "certification requirements" for various so-called professions, just what the heck ARE the requirements, that such crap conforms? Pretty high, actually. A conference such as this would amount to only a very small portion of the annual needed requirements, in total, to certify. I pointed out long ago in this newsgroup that CPS caseworkers have actually watched an NBC or ABC "Movie of the Week" depicting Munchhausens or Satanic ritual Child Abuse and then the idiots see themselves as QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS! The question would be, and should be, how accurate was the movie? The few videos I saw were of actual mothers actually poisoning or otherwise risking their child's lives in hospital. The description of the ""Conference"" that Kane posted truly supports this idea, that COMMERCIAL FICTIONAL or DRAMATIZED entertainment actually passes as PROFESSIONAL TRAINING to these morons! Oh? Please point to those passages that suggest commercial fiction or dramatized entertainment was presented at this conference. Clearly the standards for PROFESSIONAL TRAINING are incredibly pathetic! Clearly your comprehension is pathethic because you have never attended a professional development conference. You have no idea what is said or done by whom for whom at such events. ...Town & Country Resort and Convention Center San Diego, CA Let's take a look: ...Meets Licensing/Certification requirements for domestic violence, child abuse, aging/elder care, ethics, child custody and traumatic stress Consider your assumption that this is all it takes to become certified. ...Up to 27 hours of CE credits for Pre-Conference, Conference and Post-Conference sessions Oh, "Up to." Does that not suggest considerably more is required than this conference to become certified? Or does that tax your comprehension abilities? ...Up to 16 hours of CE credits for the Affiliated Training Institutes for Psychologists, Nurses, MFTs, LCSWs, Counselors, Attorneys, CAADAC Gosh, yet again, another clue that there are even levels of credit given for the same material according to professional standards that differ from field to field. ...Special Appearances: Victor Rivers, actor (The Mask of Zorro, CSI Miami, survivor, activist, Did you miss the word, "survivor" and its meaning in the context of the conference subject....child abuse? author Marilyn Van Durber, former Miss America, survivor, activist, author "Miss America By Day" Angela Shelton, survivor, filmmaker "Searching for Angela" Hmmm...yet another child abuse "survivor," or did you think both these folks were reality show participants? Do you think these are the only presenters at this conference? I hope it didn't tire them too much to give the following presentation subjects: "16 conference tracks, with over 300 faculty presenting, including: Clinical Techniques * Advocacy/Prevention/Policy Collaboration * Best Practices/Interventions * Children Exposed to Family Violence * Child Maltreatment * Elder Abuse/Vulnerable Adults/Disability * Healthcare/Substance Abuse * Multicultural/Ethnic Diversity/Faith * Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice * Offenders * Legal Interventions/Judicial/Child Custody * Current Research/Assessment * Sexual Assault/Sexual Abuse/Sex Crimes * Trauma/Education * Victims/Victimization/Survivors * Youth Violence * Video Session" Oh gosh, there it is again....a greegor comprehension glossing over the words, "over 300 faculty presenting." Do you suppose they are all movie and TV stars, greegor? R R R R R R R R R They're onto you Commander McBrag! As a former military man with a very good record upon discharge I could take offense, but then what would that serve other than to make a bigger fool of you than you do of yourself? Hardly needed. And I'd have to work pretty hard to top what you do to yourself, now wouldn't I? So, let me see now. What's greegor's reading comprehension score today? About 3 on a scale of 10 I'd have to guess. 0:- http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/10/fak....ap/index.html Man admits posing as general Wednesday, August 10, 2005; Posted: 8:31 a.m. EDT (12:31 GMT) William Lawson, wearing a Marine a uniform full of medals, speaks at a funeral home in Shreveport, Louisiana, on June 22.
