NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN ACTIVIST: Nathan Phillips, the Native American activist who became the focal point of a viral confrontation with students from a Kentucky Catholic high school over the weekend, may not enjoy the scrutiny his new fame has invited ... Though several outlets described Phillips as a Vietnam War veteran, the Marine Corps on Wednesday confirmed he never served in the Vietnam War and wasn't deployed overseas.
Phillips, then known as Nathaniel R. Stanard, served in the Marine Corps Reserve for four years before leaving in 1976 with the rank of private. During his time in the Marine Reserve, he was a refrigerator technician and anti-tank missile man.
In addition, officials at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., confirmed earlier reports that Phillips led several dozen people in an attempt to enter the shrine and disrupt Saturday evening mass, hours after his encounter with the Covington teens.
