Sixth Annual Reunion 2008

All: Our group is seeking Donations/Contributions for the parents of Pvt Hutchins, to enable them to visit their son over the Christmas Holidays. As most of you, on my list, know, Pvt Hutchins is serving an 11 year sentence at the Military Prison in Fort Leavenworth, Ks., as the result of the sentence of a General Courts-Martial. Most of us who sat through the entire proceedings of that GCM are of our own opinions that this was the "Best of the Best" of any"Railroad Job" on the part of Military Prosecutors, since the beginning of the war in Iraq. We also are of our own opinions that our government sanctioned this action and
the Marine Corps was backed into a corner to take the action they did. Many of us, are still working tirelessly, to get Pvt Hutchins exonerated of all charges and released from confinement. This would not only pertain to Pvt Hutchins, but the remainder of his squad and also the K/3/1 Marines, involved with Haditha Incident, another "Railroad Job" sanctioned by the government. The sanctioning was done to appease the Iraqi government. What a lame-brain excuse. Our young Marines, Soldiers and their families are suffering personally and financially due to this fiasco.

To get back to the subject at hand. Our goal is to be able to raise enough money, through Donations/Contributions, to sponsor the Hutchins trip, to visit with their son, who they have not seen in many months. The Hutchins have doled out over $100,000 to Civilian Attorney's, to no avail. To put it bluntly, their financial back has been broken, but not their spirit.

Those desiring to participate should send their Donation/Contribution to:

Mr. Steve Bryant
4825 Millen Dr.
Mableton, Ga., 30126

Steve is a former Marine and friend of the Hutchins family. He has agreed to take on this monumental
task of handling the finances and will be happy to provide an accounting of the funds received, to anyone seeking that info. PLEASE BE ADVISED, UNDERTHE LAW, THIS DONATION/CONTRIBUTION CAN NOT BE USED AS A WRITE-OFF. We are not, under the law,considered a non-profit group. Too expensive and time consuming, at this late date to, establish. However, there will not be any profit gained by any of us. Just a Happy Christmas for the Hutchins and their son.

Semper fi,
Don Greenlaw

2007 Reunion  - A Huge Success!  Reunion Links

With great sadness, I have to report the death of one of our E 2 7 brothers. Henry (Hank) Brinlee passed away Wednesday 15 August, 2007. Two months ago, he attended our reunion in DC. Hank was one helluva great guy and I think he made every reunion we had. He was a machine gunner in Korea and probably left not too long after I got there. I'll deeply miss the little guy but he was one damned big Marine. When I get more info, I'll send it.    Semper Fi, Troy

"It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die."
