From the President of United American Patriots:

A recent post on our FaceBook page and in our blogs regarding a special fund raising effort to get the mother (Melanie Dianiska) of Pfc Corey Clagett to travel to Ft Leavenworth to see and visit her son included several errors.

Melanie has not seen her son for more than three years. She is in very poor health and is just barely squeezing by financially. She cannot afford to go see Corey. UAP decided to ask the American people to step forward to help finance her trip.

We hope to raise enough money so that Melanie and her husband (Corey’s step-father) can spend a week in Ft Leavenworth and to spend as much time as possible visiting Corey.

Corey has a clemency hearing scheduled for June 3rd in Arlington VA. Melanie doesn’t even have the money to travel from her home in S.C. to Arlington.

With God’s help and your patriotic spirit, maybe we can raise enough funds for both trips. We have set up this special web page at for those of you who would like to contribute to this humane effort.

Sincerely,

Major Herbert “Bill” Donahue, USMC -RET
