(Marine)Recruiter stages counter-demonstration (See #40. Let's give Sgt. Chamburs a warm welcome!)
The Daily World (Aberdeen WA) ^ | 2/22/07

Posted on 02/22/2007 4:20:05 PM PST by llevrok

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:

My only regret in life is that our U.S. military has an age restriction on enlistments/reenlistments.........I'm 56

I thank you for your service!

Sgt:

Thank you very, very much for speaking out!

A FReeper who is deployed in Baghdad launched a new site, http://www.appealforcourage.org which allows active duty military to (legally) tell Congress and the media that they should support our mission, and that their criticism does hurt our morale while emboldening our enemies.

Please help Jason. He needs help getting the word out about his site.

From Jason:

"This site is partly in response to the leftist site AppealForRedress. It was created by a big money group and given a free pass by the media. I don't have any money for advertising, and I don't expect the media to help."

"If you folks could help publicize it in other websites and to your military friends, I think we could get thousands of signatures and have an impact at this crucial juncture in the war. Thank-you for your help."

In the photo; The stark contrast between the slovenly moonbat and the squared-away Marine tells the whole story.

Thank God for people like Sgt. Chamburs!
