My husband's bloody image was used on Fahrenheit 911 on scene 22 on the DVD. Michael Moore took this very personal tragedy and used it without a care about our family having to see this awful image captured on film. I bet he doesn't even know that this Marine survived and still proudly serves his country.This movie is against everything my husband believes in. He has pride in his country and despite his disability, he has no regrets in his service to our Nation. He is truly an inspiration to all who meet him. He will continue to serve just as long as he is allowed to. The footage of my husband is pretty graphic, It's amazing he survived. Ironically it was the body armour that saved his life, the body armour that Kerry voted against. He lost his right eye, hearing in his right ear, loss of sense of smell and is legally blind in his left eye. He says "Our country is still at war and I will not leave the military without a fight." I don't think this is what Michael Moore was expecting to hear from this bloody injured Marine he used for quite the opposite effect. Kerry like Moore also used this same footage of my husband. He used it and implied that he knew the father of this injured serviceman and that the father told him he did not want his son to go to war. I can't believe that the two people that we despise the most, happen to be the two people who used the blood of my husband for their own benifit. April wife of Cee-gar Marine
I have not seen the movie and am outraged that Moore used our Situation Room favorite, Ceegar Man, in his propaganda film...My prayers, good wishes and humble gratitude go to Mr and Mrs. Ceegar Man!
I certainly had no idea Kerry had used him, April...Kerry is not an honest man..He is Unfit for Command.
God Bless You!
God bless you and your family. Your husband is a hero and an inspiration!
Good man, Strong wife, True heroes. Kerry & Moore should be ashamed, but one has to have a conscience to be ashamed.
I have one question. You stated, "...Kerry like Moore also used this same footage of my husband. He used it and implied that he knew the father of this injured serviceman..."
Is what JfK said true?
Personally, I rather doubt it.
Excellent idea!
Tell the Gunny, Semper Fi!
Thank you, both for your service.
Sounds like a great campaign ad. for Bush. Maybe he should use this.
I have no words.
I would suggest you sue them for $100 million.
It is my understanding that he had to get permission from your son to use his image.

Edit son for husband.
Don't hold your breath....the MSM will run full page articles about soccer moms and Republicans who are against the war. But when it comes time to showcase someone willing to give it all, they fall silent.
Would somebody please splash and publicize this and crush the dirty filthy scum?
God bless you and your husband. Unfortunately, every war America has been involved in since Vietnam has been a two front war. We have to face an enemey in the field and an enemey at home. If your husband and others can sacrifice their blood and sometimes lives on one front, the least the rest of us can do is to fight the battle on the homefront with equal determination. We owe it to every soldier, sailor, airman and marine in Iraq and Afganistan to challenge the Michael Moore's and John Kerry's of the left and to do win the battle of ideas. The blame america first crowd must be defeated as sure as Sadam, and Al Qaeda must be defeated.
God Bless You and your family.
Attached is a pic of my 2 daughters, You, sir, helped secure their future.
I wont forget. <
thanks to both of you for your selfless service to country.
Prayers for you and your family from a grateful citizen.
Have you thought about suing? Could the court issue a ban on showing the movie until the case was settled?
Michael Moore is no good, a despicable person.
Take Care and God Bless.
Thank your husband for his service. I hope years from now when, as with Reagan and the Soviet threat, this current war is put in perspective, he will be able to enjoy watching Mikey Moore and his disingenuous, lying bunch squirm when they, too, are compelled to admit (in private or in public) that your husband's heroism helped make the world a better place for us all. Not many people can claim to have helped save the world. You're married to one who can.
