Good comment by one guy when talking to the police: "You all didn't do anything about the illegal immigrants protesting in the middle of the street."

Accused troops' supporters busy fundraising - Hamdaniya / 'Pendleton 8' defense funds ^
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1654104/posts

Some of the familes and supporters of the 7 Hamdaniya Marines & a Navy Corpsman, now charged with multiple criminal offenses, have setup web sites for use in accepting donations for legal defense funds or sending notes of encouragement and support to the detainees and their families.

If your financial situation permits, please help as you can to defer legal representation costs.

Thanks!

Great video and terrific crowd!!!

Keep the heat on from a D.C. FReeper. Lets give the Marines the benefit of doubt and at least treat them better than the Gitmo terrorists.

Semper Fi!!!

Do these young heroes need any kind of financial assistance regarding their families or legal representation and if so where can we donate?

The Camp Pendleton 8 are getting a tremendous amount of support. Great video.

Thanks for the post and the link.

God bless our troops.

We were there!!!

We "prepped" the cars before they got to the much larger crowd of supporters. We were on the island at the end...just before the Patriotic Truck.

We were so honored to be there in support of our fine troops and to meet the Grand Dad you saw in the video. What a really nice man!

Some of our fav signs were:

KILLING THE ENEMY IS NOT MURDER

SECURE THE BORDERS, NOT OUR MARINES

SHACKLE MURTHA

WHAT WOULD REAGAN DO? HE'D BACK OUR BOYS!

BE THERE THIS SATURDAY, TOO, EVERYONE!!!!!

My reply to the AZ republic....

" From the first invasion of Tripoli to the skirmish in Haditha Iraq, the USMC has honorably defended the USA from the head chopping Mujahadeen or it's modern branch, Al Qaeda. If you at Arizona Republic should lose your heads to those Al Qaeda who want them, only then will justice be rightly dispensed to repay your shameful display of disrepect."
