FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY! Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET
The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.
The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:
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 Ð 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.
Developing..
Oh, sorry. Thank you.
Oh, don't worry; you'll see me talking about it again, any time there's a storm thread or discussion of generators.
If you don't have a CO detector and you use gas of ANY kind, even logs or grill, get one. And give everybody you know one.
LOL, yes, and I'll bring the stylish little white jacket that ties in the back.
;)
We have three little boys and no CO detector. You've just inspired me to get one though.
Cindy Sheehan is nothing more than vileness looking for an excuse to be vile. Her hatred was with her long before her son died IMO. His death is just the vehicle to propel her liberal drivel to the front page. The same way Sarah Brady was just a reason waiting for an excuse. I am so sorry for the family members who KNOW these people and their causes, and yet have to put up with them.
We use propane out here in the sticks, and have a detector. Wouldn't dream of not having one, you just never know.
I just saw Cindy Sheehan LIVE on Keith Olbermann's show, saying that the letter WAS from her in-laws, whom she hasn't spoken to since they supported and voted for Bush in November of 2004.
That's it...........LOL....it's Munchausan's! LOL!
It was her in-laws??
Wow, seems like such a long time ago and then not really. Think of all that has happened since then! What a time though! I never watched so much TV! Didn't know about FR. (How did I live?)
Glad you had that special time with him....and you obviously raised a good Republican!
Aren't they the greatest?
Even Cindy says it's so!
Check out post # 333.
Now you've hit the nail right on the head.
It's no excuse for POOR CHOICES!
Now you all read this: I don't agree with ALL of it, but I agree with most of it:
I'm sorry. Make that post # 348.
Yep! She said so herself.
And this thread reminded me I still need to buy one or two for our new house. A couple years ago I was inspired by reading of Howlin's son to buy one for our old house, but we had to leave it there when we moved (NJ law), and she just did it again - reminded me I have yet to get one here in OH.
kewl, that proves it's not fake!
I'm glad you said "most." :-)
To heck with that, I have Hilton Honor points!
