    Families removing Sheehan's crosses
    Crosses bearing the names of soldiers and Marines killed in Iraq are being removed from Cindy Sheehan's anti-American camp outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch by family members. One father, Gary Qualls, father of Louis Qualls, 20, a Marine killed in Fallujah last year, has set up the principal pro-American camp in Crawford, called "Camp Qualls". Mr. Qualls said,

    Anti-war protesters never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause. They are not respecting our sons and daughters. One by one, [Mrs. Sheehan's] crosses are coming down.
    As of yesterday morning at least 17 crosses bearing KIA American's names had been removed by family members, many of those 17 more than once. Mr. Qualls has had to remove his son's crosses 3 different times because the heartless and disrespectful anti-war leftists keep putting them back up. Some mothers of Fort Hood soldiers killed in Iraq who found duplicate crosses of their fallen loved ones presented one cross each to Fort Qualls and took the duplicates home with them.

    I only know of one cross at Sheehan's camp which is there with the permission of a loved one left behind, that of her son Casey. And that cross is there without the permission of Casey's father, sisters and brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. So, I would have to say that Casey's cross is not there with his family's permission, only that of his poor, heartbroken mother who has allowed herself to be used by the leftist, anti-American, Hanoi Jane bloc.

    Another camp has been set up directly across the road from the anti-American Sheehan camp. It is called "Camp Reality" and 500 signs saying "We Support Our Troops" and "This Is Bush Country" are being set up today. A large American flag will be unfurled on the site as well. The sponsors of the pro-American site claim to have collected over 400,000 petitions supporting President Bush and the war effort. If this is not a typo, if the sponsors really meant petitions and not signatures, then we are looking at possibly millions of signatures on those petitions. Are the MSM and the Congress awake?

    I am awaiting the first physical confrontation when the anti-Americans try to stop a family member from removing a cross

    a link to a blog concerning this issue Referring to the pro-American family members arriving daily, the pro-American caravans that are en route and the pro-American petitions as well as calls, emails and support letters, Mr. Qualls said,


    More are on the way.

    I can kinda see the Sheehan crowd using names without permission. They're part of the public domain.

    What I can't understand is the attitude that makes them put names back up that have been removed by the deceased's loved ones.

    It illustrates their real concern is political and has nothing to do with the war dead except to take advantage of their deaths to achieve their agenda.

    Cindy seems like a media <whound> with a hate based agenda to play out.

    For example, any mother who doesn't agree with her is fair game to label as a supporter of "murder and mayhem" according to her.

    See The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford for the full text of her comments. Thanks to old Neal Bortz for listing this one on his web site.

    I hope more families, like the Qaulls, prove her attitude is way off base and very atypical of those who've had loved ones killed or injured in the war. I pray God will comfort them all including Cindy and, in her case, remove the hatred from her heart.
