Ex-Marine who guarded school embellished military record to reporters
(MCT) — HUGHSON, Calif.—The Marine Corps veteran who achieved national fame this week for guarding Hughson Elementary School had a far less distinguished service career than he has claimed in public, records obtained Thursday show.
Hughson Unified Superintendent Brian Beck said he asked Craig D. Pusley to leave the school grounds about 10 a.m. Thursday after checking with regional Marine authorities on Pusley’s service. He said Pusley did not argue and simply left.
