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.

You Go Sgt. Chamburs!!!!

Semper Fi Indeed

[sgtbono2002]

I hope Coastline signs donated the sign .

I know I would have.

Kovach is a typical Socialist: Likely no job & living off the taxpayer, so he has all day to stage his "protests."

Semper Fi, Marine!

Sgt. Brendan Chamburs....THANK YOU for your service.

"They are dying for a lie.”

Yes creepo, and you are lying for a die. The blood of every dead warrior is as much on your filthy traitorous hands as it is on the hands of your terrorist enemy allies. I wish someone had hit you with something heavier than an egg.

Our son, LCPL RushLake USMC, is standing in the breach this evening.

Ping!

Well done, Sgt. Chamburs!

not everyone was inclined to support free speech...someone threw an egg at Kovach from a passing car, hitting his sign.

What are they talking about? That egg was free speech!

[Mr. Lucky]

Tell him thanks.

[cripplecreek]

God Bless the Marine. And now for something funny.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Nice work Marine.

[RushLake]

He is proud to be there, he is there because this is, as he has stated, his generation's war. He and the people he serves with are very clear on what is at stake, and they will not dishonor themselves or our nation. Depend on it.

I will pass along your kind words.

[ishabibble]

Somebody buy that Marine a beer!


God bless Sgt. Brendan Chamburs and all the brave men and women who stand every day for us and our country.
My son, USMC Sgt. Rikeguy, stands beside yours this evening, Mr. and Mrs. Rushlake. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Take care.

"They are dying for a lie.”...
..." Yes creepo, and you are lying for a die."

Not quite:
Unfortunately, creepo is the lie they are dying for.

I've been hearing that free speech crap since '65/66 and, no Virginia, we weren't fighting for war protesters then and I doubt anyone in Iraq thinks he or she is fighting for war protesters today.

[Halgr]

Wooohoooo

I tried to find an email address for the young sgt....sigh....nothing that I could find on the internet.

I wanted to thank him

[Jemian]

Thank you for your sacrifice and service. Please convey my thanks and appreciation to your son as well. My son, Spc. JemiansTerror, has his back.

OK, I'll admit it, it was me! Took me 3 drive-bys but I finally hit the prick! (No, not really but wishing...)

I'm sitting here with wet eyes as I read these notes from warrior parents. We truly are blessed to have such fine children.
