I have attempted to consolidate information on how to voice your support for him below, with the help of a few FReepers' postings on this threads:
You can call the Office of Commandant of the Marine Corps 703 614 2500 (Washington DC). Voice your support to his public relations officer for the Marine in question. Do the same for the White House and your state representatives. Support this Marine!

I think NBC was ready to be given the Pulitzer Prize for this story and they are in shock how it is being received.
CALL NBC in DC NOW AND COMPLAIN 202-885-4200

Just talked to a very nice young man in Marines PR. They are getting lots of phone calls this morning!! I asked he what we could do to help get the embedded reporters out of Iraq. He said actually they have proved to be beneficial most of the time. He suggested we notify MSM and Congress to voice our displeasure at how this news story was handled......I assured him we would. He was most appreciative of our support -- told him the internet was buzzing this morning in support of this young Marine as well as all our troops. I suggested that a new procedure of having the reporters be the ones to check "injured" terrorists to see if they're bomb-free might be in order. He appreciated that! EVERYONE CALL NOW - LET THE MARINES KNOW WE SUPPORT THEIR ACTIONS.

Also, it's worth dropping an e-mail to Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" (10pm ET). Undoubtedly, he will take up this Marine's cause, starting tonight. E-mail Joe at joe@msnbc.com
Fellow FReepers: We need to mobilize and support this Marine, who is being unfairly slimed in the MSM/Old Media. Here's one thread with some background information on this situation:

You are so right, nutmeg. My friend in Baghdad said the only way the MSM will stop is if the American people rise up. These embeds should know better. They spend time with the troops and see the booby trapped bodies. But this one has an agenda. I consider him the enemy.
Rhode Island FRiends... Please consider voicing your support for this Marine, who is being unfairly slimed in the MSM/Old Media. See post #518 for information on how to help.
The man was afraid for his life. Therefore, he took no illegal action. Case closed.
Please see post 518 on this thread. I posted a few phone numbers and e-mail addresses (and other info) there in an effort to help support this brave Marine.
