Please tell your son how much we appreciate, love and support him. Your whole family has gone through the fire for this country... whether poorly-informed Americans know it or not.
Justin could have just plea-bargained - but he knew he was innocent, and was willing to go to jail rather than say he did something wrong. By taking the courageous route, he has stood up for all soldiers and their right to do their difficult and demanding jobs. Perhaps he’s even discouraged hyperactive JAGs from trying to obstruct their country’s war mission.
I KNEW from the start that ‘our boys’ did not do this thing they were accused of. The more I read, the more I knew it was a lie and a con job. All they did was fight the enemy. After they won, the enemy sent out their PR team to deprive them of their victory. And to think, both the JAG and the DBM believed... the enemy.
I fear for my country in hands like those. But then I remember our men like Justin, and know we have a chance!
Thanks and love from California - Shaz
That is wonderful news! God Bless you and your family, and God Bless Justin. Thank him for his service.
I had to smile when I read what you said about bad lawyer jokes. You were blessed to have a good legal team.
I am terribly sorry for what your fine family had to endure
May God bless your family. Justin faced the firefights of Fallujah and Haditha and was victorious. Your family has faced the firestorm of the media and anti-war types and will be victorious. It is truly a shame that the Marines have lost a fine warrior. I hope Justin can lean on the lessons and values taught by the Marine Corps, as he continues on his path in life. Thankyou, Justin, for your service for all Americans. Thankyou, Theresa and Darryl for hanging tough during this long ordeal.
I admire your commitment not only to your family, but your good will to the other Haditha families as well. You always included them in your interviews and asked us to give them help. You are a selfless family and I thank you.
A shame for sure. May Murtha and his cohorts have permanent indigestion and nightmares as payment for what they have wrought.
God bless you Mr. Sherratt, and the rest of your family too. You gave for this country all we asked of you and did not deserve to be treated in this manner. For that, I am truly ashamed.
Careful. Has the tribunal ruled yet?
I know the testimony went well for your son, but until the tribunal comes back, anything could happen. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.
The childhood dreams of our son have been dashed by a system gone awry. It was once said you can harm one’s body, but you cannot destroy the soul. The Marine Corps has lost a warrior son. Justin will no longer wear the uniform he had taken so much pride in donning.
Tragic. Simply tragic.
Darryl.....your entire family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. Your son is a Hero. That cannot be taken away from him. I hope he knows that there are so many across this country that believe in him and want him to continue to stand tall and proud!
I, too, believe he will be exonerated.
Outstanding!!!
