Unfortunately, over the past several years, the Veteran Golfers Association has encountered multiple cases involving individuals who intentionally misrepresented or concealed the truth about their military service.

These cases have included:
* A Marine Corps officer who intentionally concealed a dishonorable discharge.
* A Navy nurse who falsely claimed to have sustained a neck injury from an enemy rocket attack in Afghanistan.
* An Army chaplain assistant who intentionally shot himself in an effort to be removed from a combat zone.
* The son of a Vietnam Veteran who claimed to have earned a Purple Heart while serving in the Marine Corps, despite never having served a single day in the United States Armed Forces.

It is unfortunate that this message is even necessary, but our position must be unmistakably clear:

STOLEN VALOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

The VGA is built upon the collective values of honor, integrity, service, and sacrifice. Misrepresenting military service, combat experiences, injuries, or discharge status dishonors the men and women who legitimately served, sacrificed, and earned the right to tell those stories and wear those decorations.

Any VGA member found to have intentionally falsified, fabricated, concealed, or materially misrepresented their military service, military record, or eligibility will be subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including permanent expulsion from our organization. We highly encourage other organizations to do the same.

The VGA will always stand with those who have served honorably and protect the integrity of the community we have built together.

There is no place for stolen valor in the Veteran community.

There is no place for it in the VGA. 🫡🇺🇸🏌️‍♂️🇺🇸🏌️‍♀️

After five and a half years of dedicated service as a Veteran Golfers Association Director, we want to recognize and congratulate Andrew Tschumper as he begins an exciting new chapter.

Throughout his time with the VGA, Andrew has been far more than a Director. His knowledge, dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our veterans have helped strengthen the VGA North Region and make it what it is today. Whether behind the scenes, supporting our members, helping run events, or simply being someone others could count on, Andrew has left a lasting mark on this organization.

Five and a half years represents countless tournaments, conversations, friendships, challenges, victories, and memories. The impact Andrew has made cannot be measured by events alone, it can be seen in the veterans he has supported, the relationships he has built, and the example he has set for those who will continue the mission.

His experience and leadership will be extremely missed throughout the VGA North Region, but we could not be more excited for what comes next.

Andrew, thank you for five and a half incredible years of service to the Veteran Golfers Association and, most importantly, to the veterans and families we serve.

From all of us across the North Region, congratulations and good luck at Shepherd University! They are gaining one hell of a leader.

You’ll always have a home here in the VGA.

Thank you, Andrew. Fairways and greens, brother.
