The Better Half Speaks

In a blip of publicity, Cindy Sheehan bowed out of her diminishing limelight, announcing that she would stop her activism against the Iraq war. In doing so, she declared that Casey Sheehan “did indeed die for nothing.”
That statement ended Pat Sheehan’s silence.
…
Yes, he told me, Casey Sheehan’s death mattered. We continued talking and e-mailing, and he made me realize what should have been so obvious — that a soldier’s life is what is significant, not his death or the activism it might inspire.

Thanks for the post and link Cranky. As much as I despise his mothers actions, somehow knowing a little of Casey’s life makes her actions easier to understand. Hat’s off to Caseys father who choose to tell us something of his son at the same time not wanting to bad mouth is X.
