Cindy Sheehan’s (ex) Sister-in-Law Salutes the Marines

Cherie Quartarolo is the patriotic and proud Godmother of Casey Sheehan. She sent to me and Melanie Morgan a beautiful story of Marines in Iraq that I want to share with you.

But first, let me say that Cherie is an honest, God-fearing woman whose brother, Pat, was married to Cindy Sheehan before Cindy decided to leave her marriage. Cherie took a lot of heat from nuts on the left, those who felt Cindy should not be questioned about her questionable rise to notoriety and her destructive behavior toward her family.
Under all of the questions about her veracity, Cherie stood strong for her family and country. She is a beautiful person.

This is what Cherie sent to us:

For those who are unaware, at a military theater, the National
Anthem is played before every movie.

From a Chaplain in Iraq :

I recently attended a showing of
“Superman 3,” here at LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorium we
use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large
gatherings. As is the custom back in the States, we stood and
snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the main
feature. All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the
way through The National Anthem the music stopped.

Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds
back in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls,
laughter, a few rude comments; and everyone would sit down and call
for a movie. Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National
Anthem in the first place. Here, the 1,000 Soldiers continued to
stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again.
The Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. And again, at
the same point, the music stopped. What would you expect to happen?

Even here I would imagine laughter, as everyone finally sat down
and expected the movie to start. But here, you could have heard a
pin drop. Every Soldier continued to stand at attention. Suddenly
there was a lone voice, then a dozen, and quickly the room was
filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the
recording left off:” And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting
in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of
the free and the home of the brave”

It was the most inspiring moment I have had here in Iraq. I wanted
you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you here. Remember
them as they fight for you! Pass this along as a reminder to others
to be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home
and abroad. For many have already paid the ultimate price.

Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins

LSA Anaconda is at the Balad Airport in Iraq , north of Baghdad.

As we approach the fifth anniversary of the very day that our troops decided to lay their lives on the line for our country and each of us, we should honor them by always standing for National Anthem, always removing our hats, and always praying for our human saviors.

God Bless Them All.

Should it come as any surprise that her family means nothing more than a toy to Cindy Sheehan?

Cindy Sheehan’s (ex) Sister-in-Law Salutes the Marines

Something is not right with this line. Ex connotes ridding oneself of one of a former close mate. Didn't Sheehan's husband call for the divorce? Would it not be better to refer to Catherine as the former sister-in-law?

Sure that would be fine.

The writer chose to use “ex”, which means used to be but is no more.

I think “ex” sounds better, ‘cause it makes Cindy Sheehan look worse.

Thanks for bumping the thread!

Thanks for the posting. It inspires us all to stand up to the anarchists and dimwits who want the U.S. to cut ‘n run.

How beautiful! Kudos to Cherie for sharing. Cherie’s relationship with Cindy Nutcase reminds me of the adage: you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family.

(Y)ou can choose your friends but you can’t chose your family.

True unless they were invited in as Pat Quartarolo did with Cindy.

But when they go bad on you as Cindy did, you can throw them out!

Not sure..but I believe she deserted him, long before he filed for divorce.

...but I believe she deserted him...

I think that is true. And the rest of her family too. Even some of her blood relatives despise her.

Family never seemed to matter to her.

They are only good if she can exploit them, (excuse me for saying this, but it is true) dead or alive.

She is the lowest a person can descend with out actually reaching Hell.
