BACKGROUND

Jeffery John Treu comes to us from Oakdale, Nebraska. Treu is 62 years old as of May 2019.

Treu has been involved in a lot of veteran activities where he lives. People where Treu lives have reported that he:

Claims to be a Vietnam Era Marine
Joined American Legion as a Vietnam Era Marine In Tilden, NE
Served as Vice Commander of American Legion Riders
Spoke numerous times on Veterans Day as a veteran Marine
Went on several Honor Flights as medic and as a veteran
Presented Gold Star flags to families
Wears USMC hats and other bling that implies he was a Marine

He often wears a cap that says “DOC” but we believe this means he served as a medic aboard numerous flights honoring veterans.

We will talk more about these patriotic honor flights more in the discussion section that follows.

Treu was a police officer, deputy and even a police chief. He was often a guest speaker at veteran themed events.

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY

SUMMARY SHEET & ASSIGNMENTS

The Norfolk Daily News just broke the story yesterday, Sat 18 May 2019, on the front page that people were calling Treu’s military record into question.

Wisner Police Chief’s Military Record Called into Question

*Norfolk Daily News – Front Page – Saturday 18 May 2019*

This certainly creates a conflict…

*Nebraska Law Enforcement Officer Code of Ethics*

It is our understanding that Jeffery Treu was confronted about this and admits he was never a veteran. We are also told that he denied ever saying he was.

We can’t confirm what Jeff Treu did or didn’t say along these lines – but how can he get to be in the American Legion Riders?

The Marine Corps bling that he wears certainly implies he was in the Marine Corps.

We are told by a reliable source that Jeff Treu resigned as police chief on Friday 17 May 2019. There still remains the issue of – what did Treu gain from people believing he was a Marine Corps veteran? Besides prestige, were there items of value?

NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Let’s consider the newspaper articles. The article posted above that says he was a Marine veteran as he was preparing to speak at a Veteran’s Day program at a local school. One would think he would get in touch with the newspaper and have them make a correction if he was not a veteran.

Then, there is this newspaper article about the patriotic flights. Twice it says that Jeff Treu traveled as a veteran. Wouldn’t this be something of value obtained by telling people you are a veteran?

*The Columbus Telegram (Columbus, Nebraska) – 23 Mar 2017*

Here is another newspaper article about the flights. As you read it, try and decide for yourself if this was something of value.

Support Remains High for Flights

In this article, Jeff Treu was mentioned in terms of being an American Legion rider.

STOLEN VALOR

If any of these claims by Jeff Treu were used to leverage work, promotions, appointed office or anything else of value, Treu may be in violation of Stolen Valor laws. State laws may also apply.
