Pro-war kin take down crosses at Sheehan site

Topics: War on Terror

The Cindy Sheehan crowd has angered the relatives of real Americans, who are not tolerating her disrespect of their sons and daughters through her anti-war, leftist agenda.

Military families disturbed by a sea of crosses erected by anti-war protesters near President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, have removed crosses bearing the names of their fallen children and transferred them to another site to show support for American troops in Iraq.

Anti-war protesters "never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause," said Gary Qualls, whose son was killed in Iraq. "They are not respecting our sons and daughters."

The rival cross camps are evidence of a growing public backlash against the anti-war campaign of California activist Cindy Sheehan, who blames Mr. Bush for son Casey's death in Iraq and has called for immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mothers of soldiers from Fort Hood, whose sons were killed in Iraq, removed their crosses from Camp Casey and transplanted them at Fort Qualls. Some mothers even found "duplicate crosses" bearing their sons' names at the anti-war site and took the extras home. The mothers are condemning the placement of the crosses at Camp Casey and say that they are "very, very disrespectful." "One A pro-troop "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour, organized by a conservative group called MoveForwardAmerica.org, that began in California is due to arrive in Crawford this weekend."

On a media note, why must the MSM categorize American military families that support their nation and the sacrifice of it's forces as "pro-war?" Is anyone really pro-war? Why not call these people what they are: decent, loving, caring, everyday Americans that believe in their country and the principles it stands for, who are fed-up with the Cindy Sheehan types that constantly dance to a drumbeat of anti-American sentiment that feed and support the enemies of freedom?
