Pat Sheehan sounds like a class act. God bless his son for his sacrifice.

Cindy Sheehan has already entered the spotlight again to fume about the commutation for Scooter Libby.

Some speculate that she really was ducking the media for a month while a scandal over that Texas property blew over.

I somehow knew there was more to this story than what Specialist Sheehan’s Berkley-based mother was telling us.

Maybe he can bring back the dignity of his sons’ death, God knows his ‘mother’ has drowned it in her rhetoric.

What a good father and man. One that focuses on the real issue and that is his son. Not like the Mother who used the death of her so to gain whatever celebrity and possibly money she could. Yes, she is most likely grieving; but to allow the left like Soros to use her and her son’s tragic death is scum.

Casey Sheehan was among the men who volunteered for the rescue of the dead. Actually he pulled rank, taking the place of a lowlier private.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

When you visit the 1st Cav memorial at Fort Hood Casey's name stands out along with the rest of the eight who died that day. It was the day that showed the highest numbers of loss in one day during the 1st Cav's first tour of duty in Iraq.

You can't help by being moved over the fact that most on that day gave all trying to save their brothers. How sad that their sacrifice has lost meaning to so many.

Sounds like this might be someone who could intercede for his loony mom. Or any of us. We'll thank God for sending us such men as our examples.

He's right. It's easy to forget Casey in this mess.

It is tragic that the left’s manipulation of Cindy Sheehan has obscured the heroism of Casey and his father.

Cindy Sheehan is not, he insists, the ogre of a mother that critics portray her to be. “I wish her no ill will, whatsoever,” he said.

Pat Sheehan is a class act. His ex is a very sick woman who was exploited by the moonbat peaceniks for their nefarious ends.
