Jeffrey Sparenberg looked every bit the hero.
His chest candy included a Bronze Star with “V,” Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal and Combat Action Ribbon. A newspaper photo showed him holding a flag he claimed had flown on the destroyer Cole during and after the Oct. 12, 2000, suicide bomber attack in Aden, Yemen.
The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal reported that he said he was a master chief on the ship at the time of the attack and was seriously wounded, requiring a long rehabilitation.
