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 am having to spend a lot of time in prayer to not hate these people.........
God bless you, Cee-gar Man US Marine. God BLESS you richly!
From a grateful American to a great American, his wife and his family, thank you April. I owe you all.
As for Michael Moore, Kerry, and his ilk, read Psalms 37:1-7. I think it speaks better than I ever could.
Hoorah, Semper-Fi and Godspeed.

April it is so good to see your post here even though it is about the misuse of images of your husband and our Cee-gar Man US Marine.
This info should be bought to the media's attention.
The lies and exagerrations should be exposed.
This makes me very sad. Cee-gar Man US Marine is not the only hero that this slob of a human has misused, I believe I heard that there was a mother that was upset that a clip in Moore's film contained a shot of her son's funeral.
If you decide to bring this to the medias attention, know that you have our support and/our assistance.
Please give my regards to Cee-gar Man US Marine and you guys are always in my prayers. I still have his picture and the card that you sent to me on my dresser.
I pray that things are going well for you under the circumstances.
My favorite uncle fought on Iwo and he always told me,"Once a Marine, Always a Marine" - something the Michael Moores of the world will never understand. God bless your husband and your family. Semper Fi!
Share a thought with his family, I feel sure that the poster will make sure they see the thoughts
Agreed. And every paper in the America should hear the words of this hero. It should not just be for free republic. America needs to hear its heros now more then ever.
Michael Moore should thank the lord everday for the law, because without it he would be tarred and feathered..among other things.

First, God Bless you and your wonderful husband. Thanks to you, we all enjoy the freedom of this beautiful country that is the envy of the world.
Just as sure as God is in His heaven, what goes around comes around. Kerry will see the truth of that come Nov 2. He betrayed his country in 1971 and continues to do do to this day. He will not prosper or prevail.
Michael Moore will be exposed as the talentless fraud that he is and will come to absolute ruin.
God bless you for being a loyal wife to this fine Marine. God bless your husband for his supreme sacrifice and service to this great country. I would love to meet him one day and shake his hand...and give him a big hug!! We are forever grateful.

That's horrible. I only wish there was some recourse for you to get an order stopping the showing of this movie.
Maybe there is. Plenty of knowledgeable people here on Free Republic.
You should not have to put up with being used by that useless piece of human debris.

Ping..to Moore despicable behavior..and Kerry
To paraphrase Sgt. Major Basil Plumley in "We Were Soldiers"... "Kerry and Moore are pu$$ies, and You are not."
Dear Mr and Mrs Cee-gar Man,
you are both Always Faithful..... thank you for your sacrifice, both of you. i do not think lightly of it, and never will.
i have two very dear friends in the middle of it over in Iraq now. please keep them in prayer too. Clint and Jordan - Marines 2nd tour and 1st tour. God protect them and make them mighty.
