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.

That's the kind of guy we like here at FR, isn't it?


Those who voluntarily face down the enemy of truth, the enemy of freedom, the enemy of America.

But throwing the egg was someone exercising THEIR free speech. Dems throw pies at speakers and the like all the time and claim it is free speech. Some pies are made with eggs...so the drive by egger was simply shortcutting the pie process.

Welcome aboard Sergeant!

Well done. That picture really made my day.

I hope your command doesn't give you any flack for it.

"Give your husband my best. You must be bursting with pride."

He is home these days and retiring soon.

I have one picture, of all of us the day he came home.
(this is 3 years ago)
We had put in a HUGE flag pole as a welcome home present.
And there hung the US Flag and the USMC Flag...and red white and blue lights...
And hubby in his digital cammies...well...yep..."bursting" is about the right word...
