A good friend/co-worker sent me this a little bit ago...
I've passed it on through email but going to post it here also... it's an online Petition Letter to the Senate on the Marine they brought up on charges for the shooting on live TV of the Insurgent...

Just thought I would pass this onto you folks. I received this from our NENA Region III VP. One of our members son, is in Iraq and has been wounded, but is still fighting!!
I don't normally forward non-9-1-1 related issues, but in this case I'm making an exception.

[email protected] I don't normally do this, but in his case I am making an exception, the following link is to a website for a petition to the U. S. Congress in support of the unnamed Marine involved in the mosque shooting.
Knowing what he knew and had experienced I know what I would have done.
My son, Eric, is over there and his unit, 2 Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division has been in the thick of it in Fallujah and in the Babil Province. 2/24 so far has lost seven Marines, including LCpl. Branden Ramey of Belvidere. Eric has been wounded once and is still in action. He called from the field Wednesday. His company is going to be out for a while longer.
I attended LCpl. Ramey's memorial service last night and had the occasion to speak with the Regimental Commander. I told him of the petition. He said that it is very encouraging to the troops to know that they have support at home. If you feel it is appropriate I would appreciate this information being forwarded to members of INENA, at
least Region 3.
