Saw this at Robin’s and I just had to share.

It’s horrible what they’ve had to endure, what they and their families have been put through - because of leftists who want to hold hands with terrorists and blame our boys for everything under the son, not realizing what kind of decent people they are. Or even caring about it.

Thanksgiving is No Time of Joy for Families of Marines Charged With Crimes

…Four Marines, two officers and two enlisted Marines are the last untreated casualties of the attack. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, 44, soon to be the father of six children, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, 27, the father of three little girls, Lt. Andrew Grayson, 26, a feisty Ohioan denied a Bronze Star for his alleged role in covering up the incident, and Lance Corporal Stephen Tatum, 26, a quiet Marine from Oklahoma who distinguished himself repeatedly during two combat tours in Iraq, all face prison time, huge legal expenses, and emotional scars that may never completely heal.

These four men need our help.

Murtha has of yet to apologize for accusing these boys of killing Iraqis in cold blood before the investigations were even finished.

Lance Corporal Justin Sharratt, from Pennsylvania, Captain Lucas McConnell, a rugged Annapolis grad and brilliant company commander, Captain Randy Stone, a promising Marine Corps lawyer personally recognized by President George W. Bush for his exemplary service, and Sergeant Sanick Dela Cruz, a Marine who felt turned on his brothers, have been either exonerated or had their charges dismissed.

But that means little to a guy who is recognized by Code Pink marxists as being a great man. I could do without that kind of “great”.

Now, after two years of accusations, denials, legal motions, unchecked human emotion, and endless drama, the costs are mounting to unimaginable heights while the public generosity that paid much of the defendant’s endless expenses is waning.

The article calls Murtha the “king of Pork” for a reason:

Secretary of the Navy Winter, author of letters of censure to three Haditha Marine commanders, has no military background. Instead, Winter was a corporate vice president at Northrup Grumman and, like every defense contractor, executives’ personal fortunes rise and fall based on Murtha’s distribution of appropriations. In brief, Murtha is the hand that feeds the same individuals persecuting the Marines.

Nice.

But of course, these days, it’s not about dignity, honesty, or any of the upstanding honorable and moral Marine Corps values which were once valued in this country. Today, money and power is everything. Murtha has influence. And he doesn’t have to pay for HIS attorneys because he’s a Congressman. This not only makes me sick, it makes me fighting mad.

This should not stand. The links to donate are here:
