I hate Stolen Valor! Yes, I am labeling this as “Stolen Valor”.
This moron is no better than the posers that buy fatigues at an Army/Navy surplus store and parade around like they’re General Patton!
Personally as a retired Paramedic with over 23 years of Emergency response experience; I think that this Paramedic should lose his credentials.
If a person has this level of complete lack of honor and integrity, that they would lie about something as monumental as being on scene of a terrorist attack and treating patients; than how can society even remotely trust him with the emergent care of patients?
You Sir, are a disgrace.
A St. Louis Paramedic was honored as a Boston Marathon Bombing hero last month, but an investigation has determined it was all a hoax.
Daniel, who was recently honored at a St. Louis Blues hockey game for his public service, including his claim of heroics, even showed his bosses at the St. Louis Fire Department a photo he claimed showed was of him tending to the wounded in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks as proof.
On Tuesday, the St. Louis Fire Department sent FOX25 Investigates a letter confirming what multiple sources first told FOX25 Investigates: Daniel repeatedly lied about his involvement in responding to the Boston Marathon bombings.
The department found that Daniel falsely claimed he ran to the scene and was instructed by the National Guard to move patients. St. Louis Fire officials say they determined Daniel was never on scene and did not provide any medical assistance to bombing victims.
The St. Louis Fire Department also determined that the photo Daniel showed his bosses was actually of a Boston firefighter treating an injured civilian at the finish line.
On the day of the Boston Marathon bombings, Daniel was working in New Hampshire as a paramedic for a private ambulance company, American Medical Response.
