Dear Chairman:

I am writing on behalf of Corey Clagett’s petition for clemency- and I pray that you actually take the time to read this letter because it comes from a Marine Corps combat veteran who saw more than 44 months of intense combat on the ground during Vietnam and who was awarded two Purple Hearts. I am a patriotic U.S. citizen interested in helping young men like Corey who have served their country see proper justice. Whether or not Corey is ‘guilty’ is not the main issue of my letter. The main issue is the harsh prison sentence, his treatment, and his mental deterioration in Ft. Leavenworth.

As the Founder/President of United American Patriots, a 501(c) 3 national non-profit that focuses on aiding and assisting our soldiers and marines who find themselves convicted of having committed a “crime during combat actions” against enemies of our nation. I personally write to Corey on a continuous basis, and, other former soldiers and marines in Ft. Leavenworth, in an attempt to try to keep their spirits up. I cannot begin to imagine how they must feel to wake up every day locked in a jail cell — while we are giving numerous rights and privileges to non-uniformed enemies.

I am asking, me Corey that every one of my Friends, Family & Supporters to use one of the pre-written letters and fill in your info and print, and HAND SIGN and mail to my attorney and one to my mom for me to look at latter. Ask all your friends and family to do the same. We need these letters in by Dec 1st 2011 to have in time for my Clemency / Parole Hearing. Please make this urgent on your list.

The letters will be posted by Monday Nov. 7th so be looking for them. My attorney’s address along with my mother’s will be posted as well so you will know where to mail them.

Below is a full copy of the Memorandum submitted to the Clemency Board on behalf of PFC Corey Clagett. It came to our attention yesterday, June 8, 2010, that the Board has denied clemency. Please take the time to read the memorandum so you can understand the implications of the Board’s decision.

Read the petition in PDF format.

To all of Corey’s Supporters:

I was just officially informed that Corey’s petition for clemency was denied in its entirety. I have learned that this decision was forwarded to Fort Leavenworth on Friday, the day after the hearing, rather than the normal two weeks time period. No reason for denial has been given thus far.

I say that this is not the end of the fight, but rather the beginning. I am already preparing for the next steps and, despite this setback, I remain hopeful that eventually justice will prevail. It must.

We are grateful for all the support you have given us throughout this process. Now, Corey and his family need you more than ever. If you can, please take a moment to write Corey a letter and let him know that he is not forgotten. He will soon celebrate his fifth birthday behind bars.

This is just the beginning of the struggle, and one that I refuse to abandon.
