The Warrior Fund
Posted By Blackfive

I received the announcement of The Warrior Fund via John Wintersteen who has done more for the Marines in combat than anyone will ever know. I was going to compose a statement about my position about The Warrior Fund, but a retired Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant has done that more eloquently than I would. Here's a message from retired Master Gunnery Sergeant of Marines Larry McCartney:

...As a veteran of the Vietnam War I know what the young men and women now serving our country are facing, also much like what U. S. police officers face--only under far worse conditions--they have to make split-second life and death decisions. They face a cruel and devious enemy who exploits our laws yet seeks to deny them access to those very same laws.

Please understand, this is NOT a request for prejudgment of innocence, a judgment is something only our court system, as weak as it is, can determine. This is merely a request to assist in providing our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines with the same quality legal representation as is afforded to the enemy. You don't have to believe in the war to believe in the American men and women who have gone where their country--that's all of us--sent them and do what we asks.

Semper Fidelis!!! ~~ Larry
