Personalizing the Plight of Kilo Comapany
Clarice Feldman
The father of one of the Kilo company members, whom no MSM outlet would listen to, tells his story about the Haditha Marines.

The United States government has taken 12 months and spent millions of dollars and countless man-hours investigating the Haditha engagement. On December 21, 2006, four NCOs and four officers were charged with violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. My son, LCpl Justin Sharratt faces three counts of unpremeditated murder. This is not the forum to discuss these charges but my son stands strong in the fact he followed the Rules of Engagement, protected his fellow Marines and did nothing wrong. All of these men are innocent of these charges. In the aftermath of 9-11, these men have risen to honorably serve their country. Some have given a lifetime of dedicated service, others were just beginning. They have demonstrated to the world there is "No better friend, No worse enemy" than a U.S. Marine. For now, the handshakes will be tighter, the hugs will be longer and the tears sliding down my face are not a sign of weakness- they affirm a father's love for his Marine son.
I suppose if his son were charged with murdering a cop, the media would be beating a path to his doorway.

Thanks for the link. Mr. Sharratt will do well when it DOES get picked up by the MSM.

Thanks, jaz!

And a big old hat tip and huzzah to Sam Hill!

American Thinker is right up there with Sweetness & Light as a swipe source for our media friends who are sitting on there hands. If we have to shame them into action, I'm cool with that.
