Casey Sheehan Now Has a Headstone on His Grave
source
Casey Austin Sheehan was killed on 04/04/04 (Palm Sunday) by insurgents/terrorists/scum (his mom calls them "freedom fighters") in Sadr City, Iraq.
783 days later, on May 27, 2006, a headstone was finally placed on the grave of SPC Casey Sheehan (1st
Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas). Before enlisting in the United
States Army, Casey was an alter boy in the Catholic church, an Eagle Scout and much, much more. His headstone
seems a fitting marker for his resting place, reflecting not only his service to his community and his country,
(Bronze Star and Purple Heart) but also his personal interests such as Van Halen, the Boy Scouts of America, Federation and Superman. May he rest
in well-deserved peace.
Cindy Sheehan claims that she paid for the headstone, but in fact, just six weeks earlier (46 days to be exact), Crazy Cindy Sheehan even admitted that she didn't want him to have one, saying,
"I didn't want to put a TOMBstone on my son's grave," she wrote, capitalizing the letters of the word "tomb."

In point of fact, speaking less than two weeks earlier, Cindy said "On Casey Sheehan's birthday, Memorial Day, I'll
be at my son's grave and have a dedication for his tombstone." source
But the lure of Australian dollars was too strong and when the tombstone was placed, Crazy Cindy was
overseas, annoying people (and collecting money for herself). When she got word that a headstone had
been placed, her e-mailed response was: "It is important for the rest of Casey's family to have one."
Cindy Sheehan was willing to pose for Vanity Fair magazine, in repose atop Casey's grave. She
carried what she said were his boots wherever she went, to use as stage props. She even wore what she claimed was his fatigue jacket at photo-ops. When she's in Texas, she throws crosses around like confetti.
Casey's boots, Christian crosses, rosary beads, pictures of Casey, the American flag; for Crazy Cindy Sheehan, they are nothing but props she uses
to set the stage for media events and the photographers who cover them.
Cindy, get a real job. It's time to let Casey rest in peace. It is his right and it is also what common decency demands.
