Cindy Sheehan, Snopes and the tombstone- and one father who made a different choice

Published by Karl under Iraq, Military, Sheehan

I don’t really like to see her name in my inbox. She brings enough negative images with her petulant whining and her dysfunctional grief.  But like it or not, her 15 minutes of fame refuses to hit the end. so we are likely going to hear about her for a while.

In this case, I guess it is a good reason, that being that Snopes.com, which is one of the greatest urban legand debunkers, has noted she finally closed out a chapter of her life:  She put a tomb stone on Casey’s grave.  the story from Snopes:

Grave Matter

Claim: Casey Sheehan’s grave is unmarked with a standard headstone. Status:   Multiple:

  • Casey Sheehan’s grave lacked a headstone for the first two years after his death:   True.
  • Casey Sheehan’s grave is not now marked with a headstone:   False.
  • This is confirmed at the Vacaville Reporter, the local paper:

    Memorial Day will be different this year at the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery, where Casey Sheehan, a soldier from Vacaville, lies buried.
