WASHINGTON, Oct.28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Gold Star parents and military family members issued the following statement regarding Cindy Sheehan's die-ins at the White House this week on the occasion of the 2000th death of American servicemen and women serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom:
"We, the parents and family members of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have served and given their lives defending America in Operation Iraqi Freedom are thoroughly disgusted with Cindy Sheehan and her publicity stunts.
"We are angered that Mrs. Sheehan is once again using our fallen loved ones against our wishes to undermine the cause they voluntarily gave their lives for. Her macabre die-ins in front of the White House do not honor the dead nor do they help the living -- they give encouragement to Al Qaeda to keep killing Americans until we surrender.
"Mrs. Sheehan is offering souvenir bracelets with our loved ones' names on them as bonuses to those who join her in the die-ins at the White House. Her continued abuse of our loved ones makes our blood boil and we demand that she stop trivializing their sacrifices with her tawdry acts.
"We know that Mrs. Sheehan and her allies are not peace activists. She herself has called terrorists fighting for Al Qaeda in Iraq 'freedom fighters'. The groups she works with have openly expressed their support for the terrorists and their contempt for this country. She and they are working to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror.
"We support our country, we support the war on terror and we honor our loved ones' service."

Bravo, Gold Star Families! Your fallen soldiers are heroes, every one, and deserve all of the respect, admiration, and gratitude their luckier fellow citizens can offer.
Thanks! I'll pass that on the the Gold Star folks at www.marineparents.com
This women Cindy Sheehan is quite simply a lunatic. She's not getting a whole lot of coverage at all up here, which in itself is amazing.
YW. No money is involved with being in a database. Just a chance to speak out.

Wasn't the Cinmeister supposed to chain herself to the Whitehouse fence? I wonder what happened with that.
If she does not care about her brave son, what makes anyone think she would care about them, You have to understsnd it's all about ME, ME, ME.
