What a jerk
erome Ticker, dressed in a captain's Navy whites complete with prestigious Navy Cross, Silver Star and Purple Heart decorations, was quite the striking figure at his wedding in Slidell.
The problem is, he never served in the Navy, or in any branch of the military.
Ticker, 42, of the Holden community in Livingston Parish, had convinced his fiancee that he was a war hero, a Navy Seal festooned with medals, and so it was only fitting for him to decorate himself to a T in his deceit for their April 12 nuptials.
While the bride may have fallen for Ticker's tale, at least one person at the ceremony didn't buy it, and notified authorities.
Stories like these clearly show the difference in mind set between Europe and the USA. The military just doesn't open doors for you here. It is seen as something that potentially helped build some skills, but nothing that would make the ex-soldier superior to others.
If you didn't earn 'em, you can't wear 'em!
