#1 How sad and puny minded. Let's hope Casey can rest in peace.

#2 We'll see how much she and her handlers make this into a publicity circus.

Will she stand on it and denounce everything her son died for?

#3 "I didn't want to put a tombstone on my son's grave," she wrote, capitalizing the letters of the word "tomb." "I didn't want one more marble proof that my son was dead."

So I tried to kill everything my son gave his life for.

#4 Good Lord, I really think this woman is quite mad. I sincerely hope that her son can now rest in peace.

#5 I believe that Casey's father had to arrange for it because Cindy wouldn't. (It would have taken away the "unmarked grave" element of her sad story.)

#6 The confusion is only compounded in that the VA would provide a 'free' headstone - like the ones you see in national cemeteries. Wonder who refused that one?

#7 I can't believe Moms Sheehan raised an Eagle Scout, I think I'd like to meet his dad.

#8 Agreed, 6. He's not newsworthy because he's normal.

#9 One thing's for sure: Casey Sheehan deserved a far better mother than the one he got.

At the very least, he deserved a mother who would at least show some respect-- even if just a little bit-- for the freedoms he believed in and was willing to put his life on the line to preserve and protect, and die in the cause of extending those freedoms to others in a distant land.

But alas, he got this stupid, narcissistic bitch instead.

RIP, Casey. A nation remembers your sacrifice and honors your service.

#10 Eagle Scout and Van Halen fan. She's not worthy of her son. *SPIT*
