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.

I just felt, in light of her activities and cohorting with the likes of Michael Moore and quotes about this nation not being worth dieing for...that I had to speak out.
I, for one, am very glad that you did.
Not all of us are equipped to speak out nearly as well as you are. ;o)
Thank you, once again.
You are welcome...I pray she will turn from the path she is on and honor her son's supreme sacrifice rather than sully it.
"I pray she will turn from the path she is on and honor her son's supreme sacrifice rather than sully it."
I hear you, and totally agree with you in prayer!
I, also, pray that the wonderful people that comprise the great USA will not be influenced by her, and those backing her.
They are, truly, the enemies of freedom.
I also pray that the FR rally at Crawford tomorrow goes well and portrays exactly what you have said. Gracey has indicated that she intends to print out copies of my letter and hand then out there...including one to Cindy Sheehan!
Prayers for the Crawford Rally from here, too!
"Gracey has indicated that she intends to print out copies of my letter and hand then out there...including one to Cindy Sheehan!"
Bump Gracey!
I surely do hope they have cameras should that happen.
I'd love to see the look on Cindy's face.
Thanks for everything you do.
I remember you from way back to Klamath Falls, and the sucker fish. ;o)
I must be off to bed, now.
Thanks, again.

Very nice letter! Sure hope the _____ actually reads it!
There's an old saying: You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.
--and just as difficult to speak of honor to those without honor.
Well said.
For what it's worth, I'll add my "me too" to the list.
Bump for later reading.
Thanks BR...and a BIG BUMP back to the top in response.
I pray that somehow she turns from the course she is on and honors and respects what her son chose to fight for...and to die for.
...and in response to your FR name...Ich auch!
Roger that Jeff ~ thanks again for getting to the heart of the matter!
Be Ever Vigilant!
It is really Casey whom you are fighting Ms Sheenan, isn't it?
Methinks you're spot on Dr. Freud.

Another very astute freeper extended it...indicating that the grandfather, whose view of the world Casey more closely adopted...was also on the list of who she is really fighting as well.
Keep up the good work, Jeff.
Too bad we have such a hard time reaching the young adults whom have been brought up believing their teachers; and news medias and movies etc.; even our local news stations are almost all framing events from the liberal bent and political correctness.
Young adults do not know they have been taught a totally one sided view of our nation, the nations history, the reasons behind wars.
What freedom really means and entails has not been taught.
CRY FREEDOM.
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!(Patrick Henry)
For the past year, I've been working at Ft. Bliss. Our work primarily consists of sending the troops off and bringing them home. Needless to say, the latter is the better part of our job.
Our facility is where our POW's came home and where the memorial service for the 507th (Jessica Lynch's unit) was held. All of their pictures hang in a place of honor, on the wall. I pass those pictures several times a day and frequently pause to pay my respects. The CSM who was charged to "call the roll" at that memorial service, is a friend. I also had the honor and privilege of meeting and spending some time with Sgt. Jim Riley, one of the POW's who made it home.
My point? I've had personal contact with hundreds of soldiers, in the past year; young and old; officers, NCO's, and raw recruits; regular Army, Marines, and Air Force, Reservists, and National Guard. Not a single one has ever indicated that they didn't want to go or they didn't believe in what we, as a nation, have been forced to do. Too many people have already forgotten September 11th. Ask any of our brave servicemen and women, and you're likely to get an answer along the lines of; "We didn't start it, but we're damn sure gonna finish it."
I'm humbled to be in their presence.
Regards, to you and yours. Hope all is well.
