Gretchen Whitmer were Marine veterans, according to Marine officials.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Morrison was a Marine reservist who joined the Corps in March 2015 and was discharged from the reserves as a lance corporal on Thursday, Capt. Joseph Butterfield, a headquarters Marine Corps spokesman, told Marine Corps Times Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>He was assigned to Engineer Support Company, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Battle Creek, Michigan, and his awards included the National Defense Service Medal and the Selected Marine Corps Reserve Medal, Butterfield said.<\/p>\n<p>His exit from the reserves had nothing to do with the alleged kidnapping plot, Butterfield said. The men were charged on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Harris was an 0311 [infantry rifleman] who joined the Corps in June of 2015 and was discharged in June of 2019 after serving with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Butterfield said.<\/p>\n<p>His awards included the Good Conduct Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Korean Defense Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Butterfield said.<\/p>\n<p>The two men were allegedly part of a militia group named the \u201cWolverine Watchmen,\u201d who were allegedly plotting to take down the Michigan government for perceived constitutional violations, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said at a Thursday news conference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/10\/10\/two-men-arrested-in-plot-to-kidnap-michigan-governor-were-marine-veterans\/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=EBB%2010.12.20&amp;utm_term=Editorial%20-%20Military%20-%20Early%20Bird%20Brief\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marine Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff LPH 3 sends along an update on the men who are accused of plotting to &hellip; <a title=\"Two men arrested in plot to kidnap Michigan governor were Marine veterans\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=106144\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Two men arrested in plot to kidnap Michigan governor were Marine veterans<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,430,406,184,227,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-2020-election","category-guest-link","category-marine-corps","category-police","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106144"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106146,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106144\/revisions\/106146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
