More on Cindy Sheehan’s strange way to honor her hero son.
Via Indepundit, Via Say Anything, Via WILLisms…
Mother Sheehan has been too busy these last two years to put a headstone on Casey’s grave!
As LT. Smash pointed out, Cindy was given a $250,000 payout when Casey died.
But it’s not about cost, anyway…
What makes this even more outrageous is that the Department of Veterans Affairs provides tombstones or markers for free to eligible veterans:
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 inurnment of cremated remains.
So the only reason that Casey is without a headstone is because Cindy has been too busy to arrange for a headstone to be placed on her son’s grave!
That is just sad!
But she’s hit at least three continents and Hawaii in the last three months! And, has had time to March with Marxists in Venezuela.
And,… just out of the jail for blocking a UN building, Vital Perspective bloggers caught up with Cindy Sheehan for an interview during one of her protests.
Must see video!
