Marine Color Guard at Burial of Fetuses
Your story “Marines Say They Were Misled,” gives a statement by Marine Corps officer Chuck Henry in which he accuses Mrs. Jeanette Dreisbach of telling them that the 16,400 buried fetuses were “a Vietnam combat veteran.” Officer Henry goes so far as to say that Mrs. Dreisbach “lied” to him.
Anyone who knows Mrs. Dreisbach finds Henry’s statement ludicrous. How could this simple housewife and mother of nine children do such a thing? Incredible! A better explanation is that Henry is afraid of an American Civil Liberties Union reprisal on the Marines and is therefore covering the posterior of his anatomy.
