Tori Kovach of Aberdeen, left, is a regular feature on downtown streets, often seen near the Wishkah Bridge holding signs protesting the war in Iraq or chastising President Bush. On Wednesday, Sgt. Brendan Chamburs, the Marine Corps recruiter stationed in Aberdeen, saw Kovach holding a protest sign near Quizno’s and decided to stage a counter-demonstration.

He had his sign made at Coast Line Signs. Kovach was unmoved, saying, “I believe in the military, but I think the military is being misused. They are dying for a lie.” A few people honked their horns as they drove by, but not everyone was inclined to support free speech. Before Sgt. Chamburs showed up, someone threw an egg at Kovach from a passing car, hitting his sign.

Sgt Chamburs,

I believe my husband would say, "Well done Marine".

I hope you won't mind that coming from his wife.

Thank you from a proud American.

Respectfully,

They are dying for a lie.

That statement is a lie.

I hope there is someway we can get this bumped so that other can let this Great Marine know that he is supported and praised!!!

I am not a medium,but I can read the Sgt's mind as he stands there.

He is thinking" Boy: Would I like to go back and jerk that dipstick off that tailgate and shake him till his teeth rattle.

I am sure it takes Marine Corps. discipline not to.

Thank You Sgt. for your service, We are proud of you.
