> 19 yr old that Wanted Out of the Marines, Drowns at Boot Camp

6 March 2005, 23:08

I hope that right-thinking Marines and non-Marines everywhere will take the time to make a contribution in memory of Jason to a scholarship that has been established in his name:

Jason Tharp Memorial Scholarship Fund
Braxton County Board of Education
411 North Hill Road
Sutton, West Virginia 26601
ATTN: Brenda Gibson
(304) 765-7532

Senator Byrd’s office is monitoring 3 investigations into Jason’s death and has been corresponding directly with Secretary Rumsfeld. Evidently a Tim Gavin &/or Jennifer Reed in the Senator’s office are the point-persons on the investigations.

I’d encourage all those who are disgusted over this incident to contact Mr. Gavin and Ms. Reed at (202) 224-3904 and let them know that the country expects them – and the Senator – to see these investigations through fully to their conclusions.
