Begin forwarded message: From: Graham Ware <grahamwares@gmail.com> Date: May 19, 2010 1:44:53 AM EDT To: CEO Maritime Tactical Security <Rachel.Dzieran@maritimetacticalsecurity.com>, Neal Puckett <neal@puckettfaraj.com>, gdm@militarylawyers.org, Monica Lombardi <mlombardi@militarytrial.com> Subject: Event Canceled Hey Guys, We will be providing Rachel w/ MTS our pay pal history/tracker forms of all donations (they keep on their server) and will just deposit funds into MTS account to be dispersed to the SEALs legal bills. Between our fundraiser and this I think we have successfully raised $25,000 on behalf of supporttheseals.org which I think is the largest donation to date. We unfortunately are going to cancel the 2nd fundraiser and will close down the website. Its been an honor to meet each of you and I am happy we were able to hopefully make a difference for these brave heroes. Each of you, equally are just as heroic to take on what I've come to see as a political battlefield. Keep up your efforts as they are needed! On a side note I've received emails from families who are asking for help w/ similar situations ie my son is being court martial but needs legal help...I'd like to be able to perhaps recommend each of you if that is okay. We have I think a handful right now...although not sure who does or doesn't have legal representation. It appeared some were trying to figure out which course to go and wanted help leveraging support from us. Anyway thanks again and please keep in touch or let me know if you need anything additionally. Its been a humbling journey!

She stated concern and asserted that people among the NSW community were questioning the "legal fees.". She stated that since it was a military trial the SEALs were availed of legal costs...therefore there shouldn't be legal fee's to deal with. She in so many words made me feel our efforts were pointless and all SEALs were directed to let this die off...and not engage any public support/related events but wished me "good luck." I'm getting confusing messages bc the UDT association has been supportive, even showed up at our last event. Can any of you speak to her or reach out and perhaps set her straight. She works with President of NSWF Bob Reive so if they are putting out misleading information then it could impact the efforts of those trying to help these guys (SEALs). Her info is 865-286-9144 / e.a.logan@justaskliz.com She asked me to follow up with you all??? It seems everyone wants this to just go away which is great...but just wish we could have helped more. As for the event, if Matt and or Keefe cannot attend then most people won't want to come...as he and or they were the link to getting people to show up. Let me know your thoughts/suggestions/concerns.
