Below are a few of the much appreciated comments
and tributes from friends and family members.
FROM FAMILY
MEMBERS:
To Tom Bolinder and
the Board of Directors of the Military Combat Defense Fund,
Thank you for your
financial support in the defense of 1st Lt. Michael Behenna US Army.
The work and support you provide to Marines and soldiers is
invaluable and greatly appreciated. God Bless.

To All at the Military
Combat Defense Fund,
On behalf of my husband
and son, Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III, I would like to thank your
organization for all that you do. When times were bleak you were
there. Your financial support has helped greatly in Larry's defense.
You have hand delivered notes from supporters and letters for him to
read. You guys reassured him that he is not forgotten, that you're
fighting for his freedom. That you believe in him and always will.
You Marines have cried with us. I couldn't possibly ever re-pay you
guys for all that you have done for our family, for one of your own.
You have not left this Marine behind like some others have done. You
have carried him and you have carried us. You are the Few, the Brave
The United states Marines... I am forever in your debt. My strength
to carry on comes from all of you. I salute you...

Mr. Bolinder,
I wanted to wish you, and the Military Combat
Defense Fund, Happy Holidays, and to Thank You so very much for all
your prayers and Support towards my husbands fund. I don't think
there will ever be a limit of Thank-you's, I can ever express. We
greatly appreciate all your effort on helping our family. Sgt
Trevino sends his regards and gratitude and ask to continue to keep
him in your prayers.
Update: Also, we were informed by our attorney Mr.
Stevens, that the case will be heading to court-martial, we don't
have an exact date yet, but I will keep you informed once I get the
information. Thank you so very much,
Happy Holidays.

Mr. O'Reilly,
Wow! (for lack of
a better word there...) I can't thank you and the MCDF enough for
your generosity. The financial burdens of a sensationalized case
such as Haditha have put a strain on my wife and I emotionally and
financially. It is people and organizations out there like yours
that can truly make a difference and have a positive impact in
someone’s life. In my case, this is definitely true! If there is
anything that I can do after the legal proceedings to spread the
word for MCDF, please let me know. The support for fellow brothers
and Marines out there is absolutely wonderful. When they say it is
a family for life....it can’t be more true. I have had such great
support from the Marines and USMC groups that words cannot
describe.
Again, anything you need from me, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thx again for all the tremendous support!
