Saved by the Light: The True Story of a Man Who Died Twice and the Profound Revelations He Received
by
by
THIS BOOK IS A LITERARY FRAUD.
See STOLEN VALOR pp 385-387
The author of Stolen Valor filed a freedom of information request for the military records of Dannion Brinkley.
Not only was Brinkley not a "marine corps assassin" in Vietnam,
HE NEVER LEFT THE UNITED STATES DURING HIS 18 MONTHS OF SERVICE.
He spent his time in a Transportation Battalion at Atlanta Georgia.
Trucking supplies like toilet paper & blankets to other Marine facilities in the US.
He attended NO schools for specialized combat operations,
and Received NO medals related to the war.
The entire book is FICTION.

Thanks for exposing this. I knew he was full of shit, but now I have verification of that
If he can remote view, he doesn't need to leave.
That’s so unfortunate
YOU can do the same thing.
Military records are not protected by any privacy act.
You can get the complete military record of any person who ever served in the US military.
That includes me :)
You could see what my GT score is for instance.
And how I spent EVERY DAY while in the military.
Stolen Valor is an interesting book to read,
your library probably has a copy.
Or could ILL it.
In the extant case of Mr Brinkley,
his records show he NEVER left the US while
in the military.
