BlackFive Milblog (once again comes out with a tremendous piece. At a time when Cindy Sheehan is the darling of the MSM, a background on her son Casey from the men who served with him has been posted on the BlackFive blog. It shows that she is tarnishing the memory of her valiant son who died for what he believed in. The following is an excerpt, the entire piece can be read at BlackFive:(http://www.blackfive.net/)

Army Specialist Casey Sheehan - Someone You Should (Have) Know(n) Casey Sheehan grew up in a devout Catholic home. He served as an altar boy and then as a key member of his church's youth group for years.

When he was old enough, Casey joined the Boy Scouts, becoming the very second Eagle Scout out of his troop.

He enlisted in the Army when he was twenty years old. He decided to be a mechanic. He would undergo Combat Lifesaver training - a class on how to give IVs and treat trauma only second in intense learning to combat medic training. He was also certified to assist with giving communion to soldiers while in the field.

Specialist Sheehan re-enlisted in the Army in 2004 knowing full well that he could be sent into a combat zone.

Casey Sheehan was a Humvee mechanic with the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment.

On April 3rd, 2004, forces loyal to Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al'Sadr stormed police stations and government offices in Sadr City (a city of over 2 million). They knew the Americans would come, and they wanted a fight. Muqtada Sadr was working them up into a religious frenzy. And he had his thugs murder anyone who he thought might stand in his way - even other Shi'ite clerics. His forces were known as the Mahdi Army.

American forces quickly surrounded Muqtada al'Sadr's quarters. . .

Thanks for posting that.

People need to know who the man (note I used the correct word, not "child") really was.
