Cindy Sheehan Shame on You!

Cindy Sheehan, shame on you! We all know by now that you love the spotlight; love it, you live for it. But as you travel around telling us all how bad the war is and what a bad President, George W. is, tell me, couldn’t you have bought your son a headstone?

I have said in the past that your son would be turning over in his grave if he knew what you were doing. Now we find that his grave is not even marked with a proper headstone while you spend his insurance money. Just to remind readers, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan 24, of Vacaville, Calif; assigned to 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas; was killed April 4 when his unit was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Baghdad. Casey Sheehan is a true hero He was dedicated to his friend, his unit and was a true warrior. After being hit he continued to fight alongside his team until the very last moments of his life.

I have been researching Casey Sheehan and one of the best articles can be found at Blackfive. I recommend it as an inspirational story for anyone who has served or planning to serve. It demonstrates the true hero that he was.

Since the death of Casey, America has been subjected to the constant tantrums of his mother, Cindy Sheehan, from camping out at the President’s ranch to any other protest where she can get her name in print. Cindy Sheehan has now joined the ranks of all other media motivated individuals; she has handlers. Smash The Indepundit had a blog this morning in which this can be read. As all media motivated individuals, Cindy does not want to discuss any topic, which may be true or show her in a bad light.

As a vet during the Viet Nam conflict I lost many brothers. I was privileged to know some of their families and upon my return mourned their loss and celebrated their lives with them. I know all too well the shock and personal devastation that accompanies the loss of someone close. It hurts and time does not heal all the wounds. It is very easy to understand what motivates Cindy Sheehan. What is difficult is supporting her misguided attempts to accomplish something that her son would be ashamed of.

Now we discover that Cindy is busy spending the $250,000.00 insurance money while traveling the world protesting in something her son would in life, have nothing to do with. Her income is derived from more than the insurance. As a spokesperson she receives an income from speaking engagements as well as hotel and travel accommodations. It is quite interesting how she created a job title over the loss of a hero. Now Smash The Indepundit points out that her son, a fallen American hero does not even have a headstone while she is busy seeing the country. They also have photos displayed to back that statement up.

Cindy Sheehan is an example of greed in motion. She needs to be made an example out of and displayed for the true money grabber that she is.

Amen brother!!! I could not agree more. Her son must be very disappointed in her. This is no longer about her son. This is about getting face time wherever and whenever she can. Disgraceful.
