I've been known to sit at hubby's grave and have a long talk but at least he has a headstone

Same here. And come to think of it, he got a free headstone from a grateful nation. Don't vets get headstones anymore? Especially if they died in action, I would think. I wouldn't be surprised if she has denied him one deliberately.

Yes the Government provides the money for one. My question is, did they family decide to go without one or did Cindy use the money for other purposes?

Wouldn't it be something if she spent her son's headstone money on going after Bush?

Veterans are indeed entitled to a Gravestone.

In fact thanks to president Bush they are easy to get.

It used to be that if you had a Private marker you could not get a military marker. President Bush changed that and now you can have both. All you have to do is go to the Funerla parlor that buried your Veteran and have them ask for the marker It is without charge.

Casey Sheehan's grave did have a marker -
although, I don't know if it's still there or not, since sheehan was ticked about it, too!
