Steve Slaton is a Republican candidate for Arizona's House of Representatives, but now controversy surrounds his military service record.Republicans in northeastern Arizona have questions for Slaton, accusing him of stolen valor.Slaton carries an endorsement from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers. Neither of them will address Slaton’s claims that he's a Vietnam combat veteran.
Retired Army Master Sergeant Jack Dona says he was asked by Republican LD-7 Senator Wendy Rogers to verify Slaton’s records."There are very, very serious and glaring problems with the DD Form 214 being provided by Mr. Steve Slaton and the DD Form 214 now. So many different organizations have pulled it from the national archives," Dona said.The version pulled from the National Archives and Records Administration does not mention service in Vietnam.
