Donations to Help Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser

In an effort to help my brother, with what is likely to be a large bill in lawyer's fees, we have set up an "In Trust" bank account for Robbie. Anyone can donate to this account, and all funds received will go towards helping Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser with his defense. In the event that Robbie does not need the money from the defense fund, due to charges being dropped and not going to trial, we will donate the funds to the family of Master Cpl. Jeffrey Walsh.

Donations can be sent to the following address:
Stella Maris Credit Union
PO Box 130
7201 Main Street
North Rustico, PE C0A 1X0

If cheque is sent, please make it out to Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser In Trust.

You can also make a donation at any Credit Union location. If you want to go into your local Credit Union to make a donation, please make the donation to the account of "Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser In Trust".

Thank you

Support Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser

My brother, Master Cpl. Robbie Fraser, was charged on Monday, March 12, 2007 with manslaughter and negligent performance of duty in a weapons related accident shooting death of Master Cpl. Jeffrey Walsh of Regina during a patrol along an Afghan highway on Aug. 9.

First off, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the Walsh family and thank them for their support towards Robbie during this trying time. Master Corporal Walsh served our country proud and should be remembered for his achievements.

Manslaughter charges are quite severe, and carry with it a sentence from 4 years to life. This was a tragic accident, and my brother has already suffered immensely through this tragedy. I would hope the Canadian Military will take this into account during this process. Bringing these charges upon a Canadian soldier who has served his country for the better part of 10 years is harsh in my opinion.

I am making a plea to anyone and everyone to help out in any way possible. Please Show your Support by contacting your local Member of Parliament or the Prime Minister's office. All it takes is a phone call, and you can make a difference.
