Hello again Melanie,
Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks – Cherie
In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue:
Sheehan Family Statement:
The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.
Sincerely,
Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
Thanks for posting that. That should be sent to all the MSM news outlets!
Thanks for sharing as I doubt if I'll see anything like this on the evening news. No balance there, just a continual Bush-bashing fest.
I'm sorry, but this message, even if it is accurate, is next to useless. We need real verification. Why can't one of them get on TV or talk to a reporter?
Carly Sheehan said her brother was active in his Catholic church, spending 10 years as an altar server and serving in the youth ministry. Thats all he wanted to do was serve God and his country his whole life, Carly Sheehan said. He was a boy scout from age 6 or 7 and an Eagle Scout. It was kind of a natural progression to go into the military from that. He said he was enjoying the military because it was just like the boy scouts but they got guns.
Army Spc. Casey Sheehan
24, of Vacaville, Calif.; assigned to 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas; killed April 4, 2004, when his unit was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Baghdad.
God rest his soul.
