John Kronenberger is the KWVA watchdog who has been writing informative letters about the comings and goings of the Korean War Veterans Association since the Harley Coon years. His repeated efforts to get the word out to members of the KWVA resulted in his expulsion from the organization "for cause." Not only was he expelled, so was his wife. Sheila Kronenberger assists her husband John with computer work, which resulted in her expulsion as an associate member of the KWVA, also "for cause."
In spite of the best efforts of both the Harley Coon Administration and the Louis Dechert Administration, however, John Kronenberger refuses to allow his right of freedom of speech to be taken from him. He persists daily in monitoring the KWVA and reporting his findings to a huge following of readers on his e-mail list.
For those wishing to know more about the national administration of the KWVA, the daily "John's Report" is a must read. Remember that this new website is under construction. More "John's Report" entries will soon be posted. Each will be in the order of the most recently received communication.
Should the readers of John's Report find errors in his messages, John Kronenberger is always open to receiving notice about them so that he can determine if and how they should be corrected. His e-mail is Jkronen@aol.com.
John's Report 10/30/07
The information I received about the Reno meeting was unclear. The part AFTER Dechert said," I believe that we can and should have a great organization and I believe we can if we are in agreement," was a quote from Byron Dickerson.
Byron said,"There is an old song that says, PEACE, PEACE, WONDERFUL PEACE FLOWING DOWN FROM THE FATHER ABOVE, it's time to let the peace flow." What a wonderful sentiment from Byron. I hope I got it right this time, Sorry Byron.
I was told as a young lad that it took a man to admit he made a mistake. To the Director, who let me know I was wrong as I said in the above paragraph, I will not shut up.
---
One of the Directors sent an E-mail that called me and several other members VINDICTIVE and at the same time he offers an olive branch to work together. If he expects cooperation then he should stop his accusing language and do what Dechert and Byron Dickerson did at the meeting. He should try working together without the name calling. Personally, I have no respect for people who use insults, vulgar language and name calling.
---
The information about Byron Dickerson's probation being lifted came from Byron himself. Someone at that meeting said, "One thing I believe that should not have been blasted around was that one director had his suspension lifted. That should have come out when all the facts are out." He further implied that there was one or more spies at the meeting. What happened to the OPENNESS that Dechert promised in his Resume?
What facts? Why keep it a secret that Byron's probation was removed by a vote of the Board, 100% YES. This is another example of the secrecy that some of Dechert's supporters want. There can be little or no cooperation between the officers and the members if business conducted at a meeting is not made known to all the members. This member would be a good candidate for Dechert's Federation.
---
It appears that the hate from the Dechert camp is still there. I have not seen one message in agreement or congratulations to Byron on having the probation lifted except from those who felt he should not have been put on probation at all. The division that is presently in the KWVA, that was caused by Dechert and some of his cronies, is deeply rooted. Only after Dechert is out of office can the healing process begin.
---
From time to time I get information from reliable sources that was wrong. Apparently I was wrong about Robert Banker. I will post his letter with my apology for my mistake.

I have received a copy of this statement and a review indicates that there are at least seven false claims.
With regard to your reference to myself you show a complete disregard for the truth. Had you called or sent an e-mail to me, I would have given you the correct information but you persist in trading in rumors in the guise of truth! President Dechert and I have not had any disagreement at all on the subject of a new Nominations Committee Chairman. I had informed President Dechert a year ago that since my term of Director expires in 2008, that I would likely run for office again and a candidate cannot remain as a member of the Nominations Committee. This is clearly stated in the Standard Procedure Manual on page 15 - See the statement of Responsibilities. The 6th paragraph is as follows - "No Committee member may remain on the committee if they are a candidate for any office."
You further state that I am not on a Committee. If you will consult the KWVA listing of Officers, Directors, etc., you will find a listing of committees where I am listed as the National Legislative Co-Director along with Mr. E. Buckman.
While your "Report" is your personal statement, it presumes to convey truth in your manner of writing. To me, your writing is a personal attack, rant and vendetta lacking in the simple concept of truth. I presume your list of addressees are in concert with your musings and how anyone can accept rumors, scuttlebutt, distortions, misrepresentation with a sense of validity is beyond comprehension.
In view of the above, I ask you to release this statement to your address list so that the record can be corrected. Please do so with a confirmation to me that this has been done.
Should you wish to call me at 410-877-1935 or e-mail, I will accept you communication. - Robert S. Banker, Director

John's Report 10/26/07
CONVENTION EXTRA
The latest scuttlebutt from the Reno Convention is that Director Brodeur threatened Director Mike Doyle during a Board meeting. I don't know what caused the rift but Sgt. at Arms John Sonley stepped in and stopped it. Later Doyle and Broduer patched things up. I recommend that Jeff Brodeur be brought up on charges of "Inappropriate Behavior." There is no room in the KWVA for a BULLY. He sets a poor example for a recruiter of new members.
---
The house of cards that Dechert has built around himself is starting to crumble. Dechert, with the backing of HIS E & G Committee, DID NOT get their way. There was 5 or 6 members brought up on charges but justice prevailed and Dechert did not get a 2/3 vote to back up the "Just Cause" charges. It was suggested that the issue of the members charged be carried over in 90 to 120 days at a meeting to be held in Norfolk, Virginia. This sounds like double jeopardy to me. But what would you expect from this crazy Dechert Administration.
Rumor has it that Director Robert Banker had a disagreement with Dechert and Banker was replaced as the Chairman of the Nominations/Election Committee with Thomas McHugh. Banker, along with two other Directors are not on any Committees.
---
A call from 1st Vice President Byron Dickerson reported that his probation status has been removed. More information about this will be forthcoming.
---
The above results didn't happen by chance. They happened through the combined efforts of Ken Buckley, Sam Naomi, Charles Smith, Bob Fuoco, myself and many unnamed members.
Dechert is reported to have made the statement, " John Kronenberger will have it in an E-mail what happened here in Reno, soon."
--------------------------------------------------------------
John's Report 10/22/07
The following letter is inserted at the request of Lynnita Brown, Korean War Educator.
The transfer of all Dechert-related material from the KWVA pages of the Korean War Educator (www.koreanwar-educator.org) to the new KWVAFirstAmendment website (www.kwvafirstamendment.org) is now complete. Visitors to the KWE can now click on KWVAFirstAmendment.Org right under the KWVA link on the Topics page of the Korean War Educator, and those who click on the KWVA link are also directed to KWVAFirstAmendment. This transfer of material was done after Agnew's idiotic ruling that resulted in mine being the newest head on the KWVA chopping block. I made the transfer to protect the KWE from the insanity of the KWVA. It should also give the problems associated with the Dechert administration more visibility on the World Wide Web. The new site is already being picked up by major search engines.
As best as I could, I divided the subjects into individual pages (such as Election Issues, Member Bashing, Investigations & Ousts, Member Complaints, etc.). Through the years of Dechert's reign in the KWVA, insults have been thrown at members, members have been brought up on charges, etc. If any of your readers would like to add material about these issues to KWVAFirstAmendment. Org, they are welcome to send it my way (lynnita@koreanwar-educator.org) for posting. I believe there is lots more out there to post, but with the computer problem I had a few months ago, I might have lost some things. I am also open to suggestions for new subjects to be added to the list of problems associated with the Dechert Administration. Just make sure there is proof to any claim being made. I am confident the proof is there. Visit www.kwvafirstamendment.org. - Lynnita

When two members resigned from a Directorship or accepted probation there was no strings attached with it. Past Director Jack Edwards wanted to be a Candidate again and was told by Banker, Nominations and Election Committee Chairman, he was not a member in good standing. He and others were not told this in San Antonio. Does this label stay with these members forever?
I have always been for justice and fairness but what the Dechert crew is doing is neither of these.
----
I wish I was able to witness the activity by the leadership in person in Reno. Time to pray for justice and don't lose hope.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
John's Report 10/17/07
The coming Convention in Reno, Nevada will probably have attorney Jimmy Faircloth advising Dechert and the Board. An inquiry was made and the results were that he IS NOT licensed to practice in that state. He was not licensed in Texas where the first Kangaroo Court was held.
---
This is the latest info about Charlie Price and more. He, Price, claims to have gotten his law degree from the, "Monticello School of Law." This is a correspondence school where you send in a check and they send you a degree. Monticello is an Internet University that grants Juris Doctor degrees with no schooling required.
The sender says,"I'm not saying the JD he [Price] signs after his name is a fake, it might just be another school." After a call to the American Bar Association it was learned that there is no Monticello School of Law accredited in the US.
A call to the Hawaii prosecutor got the following response. "We get calls every week on the Monticello School of Law scam."
Now what does this all mean. Brodeur uses a Pennsylvania State trooper in his E & G Investigation of a member claiming he was a Major. He also claims that the late Marty O'Brien was an IRS Agent when he was a clerk and had resigned from the FBI years before. Now Charley Price was used by Dechert as a legal council when he got his so called degree from through a correspondence course.
I hope the lawyer or lawyers who will be advising Dechert and the Board in Reno are licensed in the state of Nevada. As of yesterday none of them were. It would be proper for a member of the Board to check on this BEFORE the meeting commences.
----
It was suggested that an apology for the DVD, that was inserted in the Graybeards soliciting money for a future organization, be put on the KWVA website. As of Oct. 15th it has not.
What is on the website is that Dechert is supporting a "Free Trade Agreement" with So. Korea. Since I have relatives in Canada, I have followed the effects of NAFTA on that Country, our biggest trading partner. It has nor been good. American business has a hard enough time because the advantage goes to the cheap labor costs in Mexico. They are little better in Korea. What is more important, encouraging a Trade Agreement with Korea or the members of the KWVA? If Dechert wants to play politics he should do it outside of the KWVA, not as its President.

Honorable State Bar of Texas Webmaster:
Good morning. My name is Charles C. Smith, 6203 Brookgate Drive, Arlington, Texas 76016. I am a life member of the Korean War Veterans of New York, but has no National charter but operates as the head of the Korean War Veterans Association. I also belong to the Korean War Veterans of Texas.
We elected a new President in 2004. He has engaged in hiring a lawyer named Jimmy Faircloth who I believe lives and is licensed in Louisiana. He is paid out of our national budget but only represents the president and those who he has appointed. Mr. Faircloth has represented the President and not the membership. In a National meeting of the membership at San Antonio, Texas in 2006, Mr. Faircloth presented himself as a lawyer of the President and stayed on the dais and exercised himself as the authority and I feel it is reasonable he neither had a law degree that allowed him to practice law in Texas and I feel he violated his office in ethics during this meeting. His rulings have been proven not to represent the membership even though he was paid out of the general funds. The meeting was recorded by a federal court reporter but the recorded work at this meeting has not been available to the membership.
Would you be able to tell us if Mr. Faircloth is licensed to practice law in Texas and if ethics are violated by taking money from the treasurer but not revealing the substance of this meeting?
Thanks for your assistance in this matter.
Regards,
Charles C. Smith LR04121 KWVA

Good evening. My name is Charles C. Smith, 6302 Brookgate Drive, Arlington, Texas 76016. I am 80 years of age and have a life member of Korean War Veterans Association since 1990. The KWVA is having a National Convention is Reno, Nevada at the Eldorado Hotel October 22-26, 2007.
We will have an attorney licensed in the state of Louisiana that will be giving advice as licensed
attorney. He did this in 2006 in the state of Texas at our National convention in San Antonio, Texas. We find this to be a very serious practice in Texas and hope to find out his status in Nevada prior to his rulings at this upcoming event.
We now find he is not licensed in Texas to accept a fee or represent himself as an attorney in Texas or practice law here. It is my understanding his intent to do the same at this convention in Nevada. The attorney name is Jimmy Faircloth known to be licensed in Louisiana. Would you tell me if he is licensed to practice law in Nevada?

Taken from an e-mail dated Sunday 14, 2007.
"I can tell you from the calls made to Nevada on Friday that none of the gents are licensed to do business [legally] in Nevada."
After all the talk about going by the rules and the by-laws when doing business with the KWVA officers, the leadership of the KWVA will be conducting business in Reno with an unlicensed attorney.
----------------------------------------------------------------
John's Report 10/12/07
The yearly dues was increased $5.00 for membership. The raffle/lottery brought in about $80,000.00 profit. But still the money balance is lower than it was the previous fiscal year. Dechert's attorney is costing the KWVA about $25,000.00 a year. Last year's Convention costs were over $70,000.00. The overloaded staff appointments add to the excessive operating costs of the Dechert administration. Other adminisration costs have exceeded previous years. When Dechert took office the Treasury was over $600,000.00. Now it is under $400,000.00.
When a member asked for a complete financial report, he got the run around and then was threatened with charges and possible expulsion. Members are afraid to ask questions because they will be investigated and subject to charges. This is worse than a runaway truck. It is time to put on the breaks of this out of control Dechert regime.
----
In a letter from Dechert dated October 18, 2006, Dechert's spy network is instructed to report to JA Agnew and/or Jimmy Faircloth AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN if Byron Dickerson and Mike Doyle are involved in any soliciting or endorsing, directly or indirectly. It would violate the probation ALREADY given to Dickerson verbally on Oct. 12, in San Antonio.
His letter was addressed to 28 members loyal to him to be a RAT FINK in trying to get whatever goods on Mr. Doyle and Mr. Dickerson. This is the most disgusting thing I can think of in a veteran's organization.
----
From the Archives from the city of Pineville, La., Dechert's home town, there is an article about a dedication of a Korean War Veterans Memorial Nov. 18th, 2005. What caught my eye was at the top of the article the KWVA logo was not our original logo. It is the Korea War and Korea Service Veterans which was created by Jeff Brodeur, from the KVA.
I feel that by not having the original patch/logo shows a certain amount of arrogance and disrespect towards the members who worked hard in creating the KWVA and made it what it was prior to July, 2004.
----
There is an article on the KWVA website about the Dedication of a Korean War Memorial in Augusta, Georgia, on Dec. 4th, 2004. The ceremony was attended by a very large number of dignitaries and guests. It is a very impressive memorial and Clyde Hooks deserves congratulations for a job well done.
----
Dechert has surrounded himself with people loyal to him. He chose loyalty over competence. What kind of person would hire an attorney who says, "Members of the KWVA do not have a right of free speech." People in some countries are dealt with trying to speak freely because they do not approve of the controlling leaders. In what court would hearsay be allowed as evidence resulting in a conviction? Only in a Kangaroo Court in the KWVA. The KWVA is supposed to be a democratically run veterans group.
----
The KWVA attorney Faircloth said, "Hearsay" can be used as evidence. I am not sure if the following is "Hearsay or a Rumor," but I think it is worth commenting on.
"During the period of the raffle, attorney Jim Goodall was a legal advisor to Dechert. The raffle was determined to be a lottery by the Postal Authorities making it a violation of the law. I believe Mr. Goodall was the top legal attorney or one of several during the lottery. Mr. Goodall is a Municipal Judge for the City of Arlington, Texas and should be held to the highest Judicial Conduct."
There will be more to this story and I will print it as I get it. Pass this letter on to as many members that you can.
----------------------------------------------------------------
John's Report 10/10/07
When Dechert started with his hate campaign against those who supported an opposing candidate, the "war" was on. He started the infighting as it is called. His hate has affected 14 members with their relationship as members in the KWVA.
To the writer, "Would you sit idly by and let him do this to you?" What kind of a man would a person be to let him get away with this? Some might turn the other cheek. I can't because it hurts. The writer asks,"What are you fighting for?" That is a simple one. Our right to be a member as a Korean War Veteran. Respect towards all members. Leadership for the members, not for a self serving reason.
Dechert has proven that he wants to be head man over all the K Vets. That was why he started his Federation Of Korean Veterans. Yes,"Dechert Must Go."
----
The response to the Korean War Educator article, Dechert Must Go, has been great. Membership opinion is very important in correcting the present injustices. I said several times, you could be next.
----
Mr. Neil McCain, Oregon Vice Commander, sent a letter to Lynnita and myself adding, "Ask what you can do for the Korean War Veterans Association," Not "what can the KWVA do for me/you/I."
Neil is new to the KWVA so I think he needs to be brought up to date. ALL of the 14 members who have been brought up on charges were/are very active and supportive of the KWVA. Many have spent much time and money to make it happen. NOT ONE is taking a free ride or against the KWVA. They are against the methods of Dechert to remove members for speaking their mind and trying to get answers to legitimate questions that is supported by the By-laws.
The biggest mistake I made in my life was asking Dechert to run for President and help him get elected. I nor any of the 31 members who supported him with money and time knew he had a personal agenda to CONTROL the KWVA in a Dictatorial manner.
Neil says, "What you can do for the KWVA." For eight years I helped families and Chapters in need with what I could afford. In three years I signed up 200 new members with the help of my wife and several Chapter members. My phone bills were in the hundreds. I asked for nothing except to be a member.
Neil, I know you mean well and the KWVA needs members like you. Please don't be too quick to judge until you know all the facts.
You are wrong when you say, "The travel agency pays for advertising in the Graybeards." I called the treasurer and the Graybeards editor and they said they did not receive payment for the ad. The price for my book ad got too expensive so I stopped it. It was $365.00 and went to $2,400.00 when the new ad editor took over.
I suggest that you go to Reno and see the Kangaroo Court in action unless some more of the Board opens their eyes and sees what is happening to their KWVA with Dechert in Command.

The following was sent to the first 100 Chapter Presidents Oct. 7th, 2007
The following information has been extracted from the website:
www.koreanwar-educator.org/kwva/index.htm
You might wish to visit this website as it gives a complete and honest history regarding matters that have occurred within the KWVA that you have not been informed about.
Only you and your chapter can do something about these matters. Let someone know if you disagree with what's going on.
Victims List (to date):
* Harley Coon (expelled from KWVA membership)
* Ken Cook (expelled from KWVA membership)
* Nick Pappas (expelled from KWVA membership "for cause" immediately after being elected national 2nd Vice President; vacancy filled by Dechert appointment of the opponent who lost to Pappas--a Dechert supporter)
* Byron Dickerson (placed on probation "for cause") He was told either take probation, expulsion, or resignation. He chose probation.
* Charles Smith (charge = "just cause" - pending)
* John Kronenberger (expelled from KWVA membership "for cause")
* Sheila Kronenberger (expelled from associate KWVA membership "for cause")
* Don Ellwood (charge = "just cause" - pending)
* Sam Naomi (charge = "just cause" - pending) (In July 2007, months before Naomi's removal trial is to take place, KWVA Director Warren Wiedhahn declared Naomi, "no longer a member in good standing with KWVA." It is unquestionable that Naomi has already been convicted without an actual trial. The Washington DC office of the KWVA is in Wiedhahn's office.)
* Robert Fuoco (charge = "just cause" - pending) Fuoco received a 22-page indictment from the Ethics & Grievance Committee.
* Lynnita Brown (charge = "just cause" - pending) Brown received a 3-page indictment from the Ethics & Grievance Committee.
* Nancy Monson (non-member who came under investigation)
* Jack Edward's (charge = "for cause"; resigned during investigation; subsequently declared "not a member in good standing"; replaced by Dechert appointing a losing candidate for director--a Dechert supporter)
* Don Ellwood (charge = "just cause" - pending)
On August 5, 2007, Ken Buckley of Bangor, Maine, posted a message on the Yahoo Groups KWVA Ad Hoc page. In it, Buckley warned KWVA members that time is fleeing for the members of the KWVA. Buckley said that, of the 3,295,000 living Korean War era veterans, only 16,000 have chosen to join the KWVA. Buckley went on to voice his opinion as to why this is so:
"No one joins a club to be lambasted for asking a question, or, disagreeing with set policies. No one pays a life membership, only to be kicked out because you got behind a candidate of your own choice to oppose the current one. No one expects, or wants to belong to any organization where e-mails and other forms of communication, including the world wide web, are used to heap sarcasm and downright libelous accusations at members who don't see eye to eye with the administration."
Soon after Buckley's post, the following message was posted by Dechert-supporter and KWVA director Lee Dauster. Dauster's remarks questioning why members don't run for office fall short of reality. In truth, members have opted to throw their hats into the ring for national office--and they won. Unfortunately, their removal from office was immediately orchestrated by the Dechert Administration and the will of the voting members was ignored and negated. (The winners essentially ran and won on an anti-Dechert platform.) Even the dues of some members were deliberately not processed prior to the deadline to declare candidacy. (Members not in good standing cannot run for office.) Meanwhile, more and more members have been brought up on innovative "charges" that will likely result in their removal from the organization due to the Dechert-controlled majority on the council. Those not yet brought up on charges are constantly being ridiculed for voicing anti-Dechert concerns.
Please pass this on to all the members that you can.

Our good friend Stu Ballou is back in the Hospital in St. Louis. It would be nice if he received a get well card from the members. He is in the, Christian Hospital Northeast, 11133 Dunn Rd., St. Louis, Mo.63136.....His hospital phone number is (314) 053-8421. Give him a call for I think he could use some cheering up.

John's Report 10/05/07
Yesterday, I was honored when I received a large envelope with a gift from member Won Pae Pak, San Antonio. Mr. Pak sent me a "Korean War Service Medal Order of Merit." The medal is provided by the Government of S. Korea and cannot be purchased. I asked Mr. Pak why he sent me the Medal. He said, "You do a lot of good things for Korean War Veterans."
Won started a Korean Tour Business and I supported him in his efforts. He is a member of the Buson (Puson) Korea Chapter of the KVA (Korea War Veterans). He is also a founding member of the San Antonio Chapter, KWVA. Mr. Pak is the President of the San Antonio Chapter of the Korean American Friendship Assn., and the Korean Freedom Democracy League of America of which he is president of the So. West Region covering nine states. His phone number is (210) 257-6082.
I am very grateful for this honor and ever thankful to Mr. Pak.
----
There is no honor when you follow a tyrant in his personal efforts to control an organization. Those are called sheep. A true patriot will stand for what is right and object to the wrong doings that affects the members.
My concern started when Dechert called Past President Nick Pappas, TREACHEROUS. There was no reason for him to do this except for the fear that Nick would see through him in his agenda to control the KWVA.
It didn't take Dechert long to remove Nick. With the past actions at San Antonio and the upcoming Reno meeting, there will be a total of 12 members charged by the Dechert E & G Committee. Not one charge, if any, has been proved.

John's Report 10/03/07
The following letter is from a member who does not want his name used. He makes a very good point, something I have been saying for a long time. We should not be helping Dechert by leaving the KWVA. He has made every effort to DIVIDE the members in his actions to control the KWVA. I say, STAY THE COURSE.
Subj: Suggestion
Date: Monday, October 1, 2007 6:43:18 PM
From: Unnamed sender
To: Jkronen809@aol.com
"If the actions at the top level are driving members, chapters and departments to leave the organization, soon the top dog won't have anyone stopping him from totally absorbing us into his pet program. Everyone should stay put and use our votes to oust the rascals. By leaving, it will make it easier for our KWVA organization to disappear or be lost inside the new creation."
The sender of the above letter chose to remain anonymous because as he says, "I turned in my carbine when I left the service, so I have nothing to use in defense."
----
Dechert is against members who voice their opinions and who communicate with others and exchange ideas. These are the members he is attacking and investigating for the sole purpose to silence them by bringing them up on JUST CAUSE charges. In spite of what Attorney Faircloth gave in his opinion letter, we DO have the right to Freedom of Speech. This is America, not No. Korea.
There has not been more openness that Dechert promised in his resume'. Ask a question and you are suspect and your usually called a traitor and a troublemaker. That is not openness.
----
There is something wrong with the leadership in the KWVA. Dechert uses Feaster to send/write his apology letter. Lee Dauster needs another members opinion in response to Clyde Hooks well written letter. Then he doesn't send a copy to Clyde. Dechert approves the insertion of a Religious DVD that is asking members for DONATIONS for a future organization that wants to merge No. and So. Korea.
A member was called a SPACE CADET when he submitted questions. He asked for an apology. Months later he is still waiting for a reply to the questions and an apology.
----
The membership as of Oct. 1st, 2007 is 17,157. That is an increase of 110 over the past 12 months. 50 members of the increase are Associate members who have no vote.
I have changed the size and darkness of the font in my letters. I hope it is easier to read.
