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
We four vets/service members salute your husband -- and you!
I saw your husband on CNN for a story about his experience. I'm in awe of our servicemen and your husband is one of the great examples of why we are the best country in the world and we thank him for his service to our country. God bless you.
Please know how much we appreciate and respect your strength and the strength of all military wives during this war for our way of life - Thank You!
You should really find a way to make The Fat Pig pay dearly for what he's done.
Your Gunny is the man most of us guys wish we could be.
This is what has bothered me and makes my blood boil now and ever since this "film" was released. It also shows the hypocrisy of the Left. A crazed, self-loathing "director" who claims to champion the working man against supposedly "greedy" corporations. Yet this same scumbag makes millions of dollars off not just the murder of 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, but also the sacrifices of our military. Hell, he's even called the people on the four hijacked planes "scaredy cats," but like the Dixie Hicks, he does it overseas. I agree with many in this thread. I'd sue his fat @$$ for everything he's worth.
For land sakes challenge Moore and Kerry. They have no right to misrepresent your husband that way. I would put fliers up all over town, e-mail every news organization, newspaper, whatever else I could think of. Contact every congressman and Senator, oh my....that is just horrid....I am so sorry you and your husband are among the victims of these two.
Wonder how we could get Sean Hannity to eyeball this little situation ?
Don't know what we can do legally but I believe Trueblackman and Sean are pretty good frineds. Maybe he could drop it in Seans hands next time he's on the show for ya April ?
Tell your Husband I said Thanks and a big hug for you and thanks for being there for him and us !
Stay safe !
Look at this ... Moore has not a shred of decency.
I would file a multi-million dollar lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress. I'm not kidding.
The man is sick and must pay.

OMG - please thank your husband sincerely for his service and his sacrifice. I am very grateful.
Moore is not fit to be in his company.
God bless you both.
As Dennis Miller would say, calling Michael Moore a scumbag does a disservice to bags filled with scum.
Michael Moore, head of Paranoids For Kerry. Kerry has the left wing paranoid vote locked up.
Sounds good to me..
God bless the Cee-gar Man, you are in our prayers. Thank you for your service and bravery to our country

Michael Moore is being sued by a newspaper in Illinois for misrepresenting one of their headlines in his movie Fahrenheit 9/11 (via Blackfive).
"A maggot that eats off the dead" that's what the mother of a U.S. Air Force major killed in the Iraq thinks about filmmaker Michael Moore, who used footage from the man's Arlington Cemetery funeral in his anti-Bush movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was killed in March 2003 when a grenade was thrown into his tent, allegedly by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
"It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, told the Washington Times.
"We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called [Moore] a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'"
The video footage shows Stone's fiancée, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and touching it to his coffin, the Times reported.
Gallagher says the family doesn't know how Moore got the footage, but is considering taking legal action against the director.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" opened June 25 in U.S. theaters and has brought in $80.1 million so far.
April I believe it was Lou Dobbs Show that Nick was on a few months ago. I emailed Lou Dobbs, I will see and will inform you if I get a response.

I can't thank your husband enough for putting himself into jeopardy and enduring personal injury to keep me and my family and friends safe here at home.
God bless him and all who serve!
Thanks for the ping!
