The "Military Combat Defense Fund" is a non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We believe in the fundamental decency of our armed forces. We believe that our fighting men and woman deserve nothing less than our undying gratitude and unwavering support. If the need arises, we also believe that they deserve the best legal counsel available. We are raising funds to assist
in the defense of U.S. Military Personnel, regardless of branch of service,
charged with alleged crimes of violence arising from a combat situation while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.
(Excluding crimes against fellow Americans or coalition forces.) We are raising funds through direct donations, annual appeals,
and charitable events.
Reason For incorporation:
We do not question the integrity of the Marine Corps or any other branch of the Military. Nor do we condone or encourage violence against civilians. We do know that politics is likely to play a part in these prosecutions. Anyone that has been in combat knows how confusing things can get. Decisions have to be made in a split second and the harshest judge of those decisions is the combat Marine or Soldier who has made them. Most of those decisions come to visit us every night. Those of you who know the Board Members, know our hearts. We need your help. Please join us.
DISCLAIMER:
Although we are supported by
many active duty personnel from various branches of the armed
forces, our organization is not associated with any branch of the
military.
