Cindy and Chavez!!
I wonder how Cindy feels now about her photo op with Chavez now that he has set himself up as fearless leader for life.

The back end of my Grandfathers mule looked better than both of them. Ole Dolly was her name. You could start her in a row of tobacco and she would keep up with you. Every once in a while Grandpappy would say pull up Dolly and old dolly would pull the sled up to where you were priming tobacco. 0 -

It's unfortunate that the true story of Casey Sheehan is clouded by his mother's extremism. I think about this everytime I hear her name or her voice on the radio.
In his memory I would like to share the following quote spoken by Cindy Sheehan herself. I hope this final action of Casey Sheehan will memorialize him in our hearts in some way:
quote:
Casey told me, "Mom, this is what we trained for. I'm ready. It's my job. Because the sooner I get there, the sooner I'll come home." And he came home three weeks later in a flag-draped coffin.
However, the media have ignored two important facts. First, Casey initially signed up in May 2000 and voluntarily re-enlisted in the service in August 2003, knowing he would likely be called into active duty in Iraq. Secondly, as a mechanic in the 1st battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, Casey did not have to go into the battle that claimed his life. When some of his fellow soldiers encountered resistance, he and others in his unit chose to go into combat to save his friends. Cindy Sheehan herself recounted it this way:
"[T]he sergeant said, "Sheehan, you don't have to go," because my son was a mechanic. And Casey said, "Where my chief goes, I go."
Where this young man went, tragically, was to an early grave. But his death was an act of patriotism and human compassion, one which should tinge her understandable maternal grief with deep pride.
His actions embody the fourth line of the Army's "Warrior Ethos".
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
Rest in Peace Casey Sheehan. I have been to too many funerals and memorial services for your brothers in arms. Even as a soldier in a non-combat-arms MOS you have set the example and the standard of Loyalty for future Soldiers who will tread where your feet have trod.0 -

Thanks for reminding us of what a hero her son was. Too bad she tries so hard to take the attention away from him and all the other heroes like him.0
