The department's Division of Securities announced the order against Paul McSweeney, of Mapleton, and Craig Ostlund, of Draper, the former directors of Our Unsung Heroes. The order stems from allegations that the two offered an unregistered security and failed to disclose important information when they accepted a $15,000 investment from a Draper couple. Our Unsung Heroes made headlines in May after a planned trip to the World War II memorial in Washington was abandoned the day before takeoff, stranding 128 veterans who had planned to go. ' The organization took a group of World War II vets to Washington in November, but the May trip was canceled due to lack of funds. About 90 family members and others had paid $900 apiece to go on the trip. Monday's order, which could potentially lead to securities fraud charges, is not connected to the failed trip in May, according to Wayne Klein, the director of the Getting Ready for the Season J Ssff Division of Securities. "They're related, but they're two separate issues," Klein said. The order revolved around a $15,000 investment that McSweeney and Ostlund solicited in 2006 from Forrest and Becky McCoy, the Division of Securities said in a news release. They told the McCoys that there would be a 17.5 percent return on the investment, which they said would be used to buy a plane off the online auction Web site eBay. They said they planned to generate revenue by using the plane to provide flight lessons with certified instructors, the order said.
