Cindy Sheehan - time to protest, but not to put a marker on her son's grave

[Woodmonkey]

I read this and went hunting for a link so I could post this on here

After two years, and a DOD payment of $250,000 life insurance to the "Peace Mom", she has not had the time or bothered to have a headstone placed on this young hero's grave. And, she doesn't even have to pay for one, the DOD will provide one:

"The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world. For all deaths occurring before September 11, 2001, the VA may provide a headstone or marker only for graves that are not marked with a private headstone.

Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. The style chosen must be consistent with existing monuments at the place of burial. Niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for internment of cremated remains."

She can find time to protest on at least 3 continents, get arrested various times, go on vacation in Hawaii, have photo ops with the Marxists in Venezuela but can't seem to find the time to properly mark her son's grave.

oh yea — Cindy Sheehan recently treated herself to a brand new Volkswagen Beetle convertible. She still can't be bothered to buy a grave marker for her son though.

Just to verify that this wasn't a hoax, I checked Snopes and found that it is true

Oh, dear, how she suffers! (Do read that with dripping sarcasm!)

Her rhetoric has often been incredibly disrespectful of her son’s memory, why should we expect her behavior to be any different?

using her son, feel the iconic gesture of motherly love.


Wtf, now I'm pissed off, someone needs to slap that woman till she figures out she gave birth to a child.

The woman's a freaking nut case, can't bury here son properly, but can get a kiss and a butt rub from foreign presidents. No wonder here ex-hubby's doing the job of burying the son.

Cindy's nothing more than an opportunistic.... nevermind, she's a pos, disrespectful of her son, disrespectful of the country he served...

I've been a pallbearer too many ****ing times. Freaking woman ought to carry someone she loves to the grave, oops, but if she's dead she can't carry herself. That is freaking sorry, can't even put a bronze slab down.

I have found comofrt in the fact I rarely see her on he news or in the paper.

Her 15 minutes of fame has been grossly exceeded.
