Men Stole From Wounded Veterans

by Jodie Mozdzer | Nov 23, 2009 1:48 pm

Two Shelton men were arrested Sunday for allegedly stealing money meant for wounded Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

Ron Orszag, a Vietnam veteran from Fairfield who served in the U.S. Navy, was outside the Stop & Shop on Bridgeport Avenue Sunday collecting donations for Operation Gift Card.

The program purchases gift cards for severely injured Marines and soldiers.

At about 5:15 p.m., Orszag, 62, had just sat down at the table when a young-looking man ran up from behind, grabbed a wooden collection box stuffed with about $240 in cash and “ran like a bullet.”

Shocked, Orszag — 6-feet, 4-inches tall, 275 pounds — gave chase, along with several others in the parking lot.

I especially like Mr. Orszag's parting shot at the end of the article. 100% Vietnam vet!

Dude, what kind of a lowlife steals from wounded veterans?

This guy needs to be run up a flagpole by his secret parts.

THe guy on the left is going to have a hard time keeping his mouth shut like that and the scum on the right looks like he just met the new love of his life who happens to be named Otis.

That area is very congested. They were lucky they didn’t get stuck at a light. The vet would have probably kicked their butts!

Why can’t something like this happen in front of me just once?

The story would be about the brutal slayings of two young crackheads.

From the looks of it, these guys would try and sweep for the poppy seeds in Afghanistan.

No one is as low as this snake. He should be locked in with a few marines for an hour or so. Even wounded marines.
