Regarding your protest outside of Crawford, Texas, and your many statements regarding the death of your son, Casey, and against the war in Iraq, where your son was fighting for his country and died in that war, I have this to say to you.
Yours is the most despicable, shameless, disgusting spectacle I have ever seen from any mother. Do you not care that you are shaming and sullying the memory of your brave, patriotic son? After reading about your "protest" and your long history against the war in Iraq and this President, it is clear to me, and, I believe, to any other objective, reasoned individual, that you are clearly doing this to your son's memory for you own purely anti-American political purposes and for your own stage.
Casey volunteered, Ms. Sheehan, and according to other members of the family, knew exactly what he was about in his service to his nation. My guess is that, because of your activities, there must have been some fairly significant disagreement between the two of you regarding the same.
Now you are using his loyal service and HIS DEATH...to promote causes which he showed by his own service and sacrifice that he stood four square against, and was willing to die fighting against.
How utterly disgusting, and how disrespectful to Casey's memory and all he stood for, how terribly selfish of you.
It is really Casey whom you are fighting Ms Sheenan, isn't it? It is the statement he made with his service and with his life, and his willingness, all of your protests and carryings on notwithstanding, to fight for his nation against enemies he clearly saw, that you are really railing against.
How pathetic of you. Shame on you...how could you?
You are apparently so self-indulgent that you do not care the spectacle you are making of your own son's death, or the disservice or disrespect you do to his memory, to his wishes and goals and to his service to all of us...including yourself.
Please, for Casey's sake, and his memory...for all he believed in...ask his forgiveness and step back from this sorry, awful spectacle you are making.
I pray, and am absolutely sure that God will rest his soul...and I pray that He will have mercy on yours.

Jeff Head MEGA PING!!
Jeff Head has some big . . . guts.
Thanks JH2, after reading about her "protests" and history (with the likes of Moore and others)...and particularly after reading her own condescending open letter to the President, I could no longer remain quiet on this issue.
Does this woman run with the Michael Berg group?
But Casey volunteered to fight our enemies, and died doing so. While I have respect for, and sympathize completely with her grief, when that grief is turned towards and is willfully used to villify and sully every thing her son stood for...I have to then put my own two cents in.
From the accounts I've read, Casey was a fine soldier. As fine as any. He will stand out in my mind forever because he overcame an obstacle most of today's soldiers are not faced with. Most of our troops have the love, guidance, respect and support of their Moms. They didn't grow into such fine men and women by accident. They didn't learn to love this nation by accident. They didn't come to know God by accident. And they didn't have to defy such strong hatred in order to do the right thing. They all have their own obstacles to overcome, but thankfully most of them aren't faced with the same obstacles this fine soldier overcame. He earned my undying respect. As for his "mother," I haven't really given her much thought.
Amen. I am willing to bet that the grandparents had a large part in that.
They are desperate. This whiole affair is a sad spectacle, but one we should note and, to the extent we can influence things, let our own voices be heard.
Amen...I am getting a lot of "fan mail" (not) tonight. That means the letter is getting some play. I am glad to see it.
Jeff Head ~ Bump!
Thanks for telling it like it is!
Be Ever vigilant!
Good job. Somebody will have to read it to her........she is to stoooooooooooopid to read for herself.
After researching her activities over the last many months, I came to the conclusion that her grief is being willfully used to promote those things her son fought against and gave his last full measure of devotion to try and stop. With that understanding, I could not keep silent.
BRAVO !
Really? They're, like, making public appearances with her now?
I just felt something like this needed saying after her antics and particularly after her condescending open letter to the President. She keeps calling for a metting with him like she hasn;t already had one. She did and she is being wholly disingenuous about it all.
My son in law is active duty in the Navy and the escalating and growing siutuation with the Chinese navy has us all on edge. But he volunteered and is dedicated to his nation and its liberies and we are proud of him and his small family in any case.
My mother lost her only brother over Germany in WW II. My Dad, who passed last year, was a combat vet, a naval officer in the PTO. God bless all who serve and their families...even this misguided woman. At the same time, I feel it incumbant on us all to point out the disservice she does her son's memory, his service, and his last full measure of devotion.
I don't know who this socialist, burkha loving skank is except that she sounds like she qualifies to be this generations Jane Fonda- but I do know that her son is in a better place than he was with a 'mother' like her.
He must have been a genetic aberration. He found a home of honor and principles in the military that he, obviously, never knew with her.
May God bless him- and damn her.
