Lost in the shuffle: Casey Sheehan was the father of twin girls

[CatWoman]

I guess they are "unpatriotic" too :eyes:

Normal life ended for Cindy Sheehan in April 2004, when her oldest son Casey, 24, a father of twin girls, was killed in Iraq.

1. 5 stars. nt

[karlrschneider]

2. I am mortified that I didn't know that.

Damn.

[stevedeshazer]

3. I had no idea.

My God.

Let's see them vilify Cindy for that, too. I'm sure they will.

[DanCa]

4. War what is it good for? Damn the Crawford Coward. (nt)

[Is It Fascism Yet]

5. Let's DU the ratings on this article. People need to see it. N/T

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. how sad

Cindy is a real heroine

[uppityperson]

6. WHAT?

where are his wife and children? Even more, HOW are his wife and children doing?

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. No wife or kids.. a girlfriend, though.

[fooj]

7. WAIT!!! INFO ALERT!!!! I saw an interview with Cindy just a day ago

and she said that Casey was a virgin! This doesn't make sense. I'll go find the interview and report back, ok?

Peace.

[maveric]

10. I heard that too!

Misinformation?

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. This Yahoo article is mistaken. The author must have mixed Casey up

with another fallen soldier.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Cindy has at least one dughter.. does she have twins?

[Sapphire Blue]

28. Casey is survived by his parents, 1 brother, and 2 sisters

Normal Life Ended for Protesting Mother

She (Cindy Sheehan) grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles, and married her high school sweetheart, Patrick Sheehan. They had four babies, one almost every other year. They drove their growing clan in a huge, yellow station wagon nicknamed the "BananaMobile." She volunteered at a Vacaville church and later, as the children grew, she worked there.

Vacaville eulogizes soldier from Iraq

In addition to his parents, Patrick and Cindy, (Casey) Sheehan is survived by his brother, Andy, and sisters, Carly and Jane.

31. Are Carly and Jane twins, though? (Carly wrote a heartbreaking

poem about Casey's death. Have you heard it?)

[Sapphire Blue]

33. Carly & Jane are NOT twins...

From MichaelMoore.com, March 22nd, 2005 10:07 pm...

CARLY SHEEHAN
Carly, 24, works as a waitress at a local restaurant and goes to Solano Community College. She wrote a poem about her brother's death:

JANE SHEEHAN
The youngest of Casey's siblings, Jane Sheehan, is 19. She has a hard time talking about her brother's death, and she didn't want to speak for this article. She was certainly in Casey's thoughts during his brief time in Iraq. In a letter Casey wrote on March 31 (but never mailed home -- commanders found it after his death), Casey wrote, "How is everyone doing? I wish I could be home for Jane's graduation."

Yes, I've read Carly's Poem... it's been posted on Casey's Peace Page for a long time now... http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/spkhntrca/Casey.html

edited to add:

It's also the poem referenced in the above MichaelMoore.com link.

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. OK then.. I have no clue where this journalist came up with the twins bit

from. Unless she was thinking of Dubya? *snort*

[H5N1]

15. You are right. I think this story might be BS

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

16. Link here:

17. I'm pretty sure that was Will Pitt's interview.

I'm listening to it again as I type.

[dogday]

19. You did see it, it was Will Pitt's Interview

and Cindy stated Casey was a Virgin. He died a virgin...

[jean]

Yes - Cindy herself said Casey was saving himself as a gift for his wife

and she did not mention, nor have I heard anything about a girlfriend...

Will Pitt interviewed Cindy and she spoke about his virginity - the video is at truthout, it's the one with Cindy in the hat:

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Did he adopt them because she said the other day that he died a virgin

[MelissaB]

27. Just going to post that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. I alerted on the thread... not to knock our darling CatWoman but to

see if they can get Will Pitt to verify or deny.

[libertypirate]

13. This is a lie....

Casey, was teased about being a virgin while in Iraq....

Cindy is on record saying as much...

[fooj]

21. Yep.Have the video posted.

Peace.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

14. I question the vaildity of this...

because Cindy said in a truthout interview here: http://win20ca.audiovideoweb.com/ca20win15004/cindy512K.wmv Cindy says he died virgin. I think if he had twins, that would not be the case..

[marions ghost]

18. I'm not getting the point.

I dont think she has any grandchildren.

[fooj]

20. HERE IT IS...

http://www.truthout.org/multimedia.htm

It's under CINDY SHEEHAN 8-10-05...done by Will Pitt. Play it and see what I mean, ok?

Peace.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. I watched Will Pitt's interview with Cindy and she said Casey was a virgin

She said his army buddies would say to him, "Sheehan, we have to get you laid" and he would reply, "That's OK" He told Cindy that was something he wanted to give his wife. Cindy said she wished he wasn't a virgin because his life was so short, implying he never had that pleasure. Here's a link to the interview:

http://www.truthout.org/cindy.shtml

Scroll down to the second to last interview on the right. You'll see a picture of Cindy...click on that video.


Now I'm confused. :crazy:

[frazzledmom]

25. You know what.. this thread needs to be deleted.

Before the freeps start on Casey....

[meganmonkey]

24. Hey CatWoman -

Can you edit your OP? It looks like this story is mistaken...

[City Lights]

26. Do these "reporters" just make shit up now?

I can understand making mistakes, but this is ridiculous. :eyes:

[Generic Other]

30. Was this a virgin birth?

Miracles.

[dogday]

32. I went through some back articles

about Cindy and this is what I know. No other articles mentioned that Casey had twins. Most articles said that Cindy has three more kids and a husband with whom she has separated since Casey's death. A sad fact, but that happens alot with couples when they lose a child.

[Solly Mack]

34. AP email: [e-mail] subject: c/o Martha Mendoza

and tell them to correct their story...I did.

[Midlodemocrat]

36. I am going to lock this.

This yahoo story is apparently untrue.

Thank you.
