54 Hours Movement in THREE Months

McQuown has traveled 167 miles since February 21, 2014 to May 6, 2014.   That's 74 days since his February 21, 2014 update of being in the Pineville, LA area. To break it down further - approximately 10,536 hours have elapsed since he announced his arrival in Pineville, LA and since that time he has traveled a mere 54 hours. On February 21, 2014 McQuown stated to the Town Talk "Our strongest ally is getting the word out (about homeless veterans). It's simple, but the more people aware of what we're doing, the more veterans...

Where Are the Pictures?

Leonard McQuown has ALWAYS made a grand production of his activities to keep his supporters engaged.  However, since his layup in Beaumont, TX for his ALLEGED injury to his knee he has been laying low.  Today he posted BREAKING NEWS but failed to document his big event. PICTURES...or it didn't happen, McQuown....

Walking is Expensive Work

All that walking has caused McQuown to be laid up in a hotel in Beaumont.  He posted a photo of his knee injury caused by a "dog" over the weekend, but hasn't explained how he managed to WALK 30 miles on a sprained knee carrying a cart behind him.  Doesn't make sense, does it?  NOTHING McQuown does except the very obvious:  He is using the plight of homeless veterans to fund his vacation across America. In March 2013 McQuown...

Walking? Or Driving...You Decide

Over the weekend Leonard McQuown stated that he was in Texas, but once again failed to pinpoint his location.  The kind and generous souls who support him do not question him because in their minds, like the rest of us, it is hard to fathom that someone would use the plight of our homeless veterans for personal financial gain.  He also skirted the questions regarding his three day stay at the Red Oak Inn in DeQuincy, LA when he claimed...

16 Miles in 8 Days...WOW!

Leonard, you are amazing and that is meant in a very sarcastic way.  Amazingly fraudulent.  You claimed that you walked 20 miles yesterday?  REALLY?  You have walked LESS than 20 miles since you left Eunice LA.  Remember that place?  You were there March 31, 2014.  You were were holed up due to inclement weather on Saturday, April 05, 2014?  On Wednesday, April 2, 2014 you were in Basile, LA.  Do...

Where in the World is Leonard McQuown?

Still breaking his "solemn vow" and operating under a black cloud of suspicion, Leonard is on the road again.  However, his journey's focus has changed somewhat.  Weeks ago he would document what town he was in and where he was headed.  This was all before he was caught red-handed duping an honest LEGITIMATE charity by requesting a refund of a pseudo-donation he made. Leonard posted this photo yesterday.  Note that his usual...

A Veil of Transparency

Has he REALLY "learned a better way to keep official records of funds raised"?  To date, NOTHING but a screenshot for a donation has been provided by Leonard McQuown and that was rescinded within two hours. Friday, April 4, 2014 he could not walk due to severe weather and he posted a video as well as a follow-up today. Why won't Leonard post his route or where he is at in his walk?  Doesn't he know that not doing so makes him look...

Severe Weather Excuse

Hey Leonard...what about all of the other days that you haven't walked?  What is your excuse for that?  While you are holed up in the confines of a warm home courtesy of unsuspecting kind souls while screaming out your "solemn vow" the REAL HOMELESS vets are getting rained on, going hungry and doing without while you trek across the state of Louisiana taking handouts that benefit ONE person.  YOU. WHY haven't provided the information regarding the PayPal fiasco - you remember that one?  You requested a refund of a donation...

Don't Ask for Receipts

"Documentation and/or receipts of monies raised in the year of 2013 through Operation Veteran Storm DO NOT EXIST.  The testimonies from those assisted through "Operation Veteran Storm" which are shown above is the proof that these deeds were done through trial and error I have learned a better way to keep official records of funds raised.  Starting in January 2014 any and all funds raised will have with them official receipts and documentation."

Deserter Deflection: His Facebook Wall His Rules

McQuown left his post for 200 days while a Sergeant in the USMC.  He abandoned his post and left without permission which resulted in an other than honorable discharge.  For years he LIED about his prior service record, and when exposed he continued to embellish his service record.  Now McQuown feels that he has the right to make demands of those he requests donations from by refusing to "reply, comment or for that matter even acknowledge...

McQuown the Fraudster

Mac McQuown was recently in Bunkie, Louisiana on his "walk" that he claims benefits homeless veterans.  McQuown claims that he sleeps outside in a tent so he can embrace the feeling of homelessness and honor homeless veterans.  How many homeless veterans do you know that shack up at the expense of good Samaritans at the local Howard Johnson hotel? None.  Because they can't afford such luxuries. McQuown claimed to be in his tent...

Walking veteran called a fraud

BATON ROUGE - As Mac McQuown walked to the steps of Capitol today, he expected to meet some friends, show his patriotism, and raise awareness about homeless veterans, but what he got was a confrontation with an angry veteran. "He's a fraud," said the man who did not want to be named, "He's asking for money from citizens to fund his walk, he's been walking for 2 and half years at donation's expense, basically he's on a tour of the country." McQuown has walked the country for the past 2 and a half years, trying to visit every state capitol in...

The Great Green Dot Caper

Or is it the Great GREED Dot caper?  McQuown posted on March 19, 2014 that he was on hold with PayPal regarding the fraudulent donation to Raven's Outreach.   As of March 27, 2014 McQuown states the following regarding the transaction: Two identical numbers would not force a request for refund.  It is highly unlikely that this error would occur and the cards are not validated until you pay for them at the register.   The...

Two Weeks In Bunkie, LA

March 5, 2014:  Arrived in Bunkie, Louisiana. Today's date is March 27, 2014.  How far did McQuown travel from his heated room in Bunkie to his latest destination?  Isn't he holed up with some nice folks currently while he waits out bad weather to start on his next leg of his journey scam. I sure hope those homeless veterans are staying warm tonight while the pretend hero is holed up with unknowing victims, eating their hot food...

This doesn't look like Howard Johnson's

McQuown claims to be sleeping in this tent to embrace the feeling of homelessness and to honor homeless veterans.  A question for you Mr. McQuown - is Howard Johnson's an open air hotel?

2014 Italian Irish Parade Jefferson Parish

Mac McQuown strikes again.  When pressed where the donation money is going to he clams up, but he'll never miss an opportunity to pretend donate to homeless shelters or veterans organizations.  McQuown claims that he took fruits and vegetables to the local homeless shelter and donated them.  He also claims that he served sandwiches.  Like everything else, he lied...again...times infinity. ...
