Subj: Personal Letter
Mr. Bradley Chapline, first, I would like to congratulate you on the stand you took against your fellow marines and crew members of the USS Ponce. You faced, head on, and against overwhelming odds of being convicted by both rumor from your peers, and trial by General Court Martial from Marine Captain Oliver. P. Dunn. He represented the government of the United States Of America.
Standing trial by general court martial for traitorous acts in collaborating with the enemy carries a maximum life prison sentence.
As a former NIS agent for the Department of the Navy for over two decades, I have been well aware of the Marine Corps powerful network of unfounded publicity.
It has been my experience that there have occasionally been a few marines who have attempted to act in resistance, much in the same mannerisms as you have in your case. However, most of those have either gone to prison for the rest of their lives, or, have died by way of suicide.
This letter is intended to inform you that the Naval Investigative Service is a trusted unit for the Department of the Navy and you should never hesitate to make contact with them when help is needed.
With Regards,
Reginald T. Dawson
NIS Investigator (retired)
