Please pass this along to every vet you know.

The "American War Library" is a scam run out of southern California by a guy named Phil Coleman, who's been at it for over 15 years now. He has a slick main website that claims to offer a wide variety of services to vets,

and has all kinds of information on it, some of it phony, some of it valid (usually pirated from other legitimate sites). He sucks people in, has them send their DD-214 to him, which they never get back, charges for listing on his supposed service groups, and is extremely

prolific in his various ways to get people interested and send him information.

This is the guy who in 2007 put out a very official looking press release that said 2/3 of all Viet Nam vets were dead already. That went around for years, and in fact is still on the Net

in some places, but finally the VVA did a cover article in their magazine about how false it was. He is still out there with his phony nonsense, and to show how creative he is, below is a partial list of the many false names he has used in his games. If you do a web search for

"American War Library" most of what shows up are his promotional listings, but in there you'll find assorted exposes and complaints about him. This guy is a total parasite on vets, so please pass this on far&wide so he doesn't keep taking advantage of vets.
