Crawford Crosses: “Not In Our Name”

Crawford CrossesNot everyone agrees with the tactics of Cindy Sheehan’s anti-war activists…

AP reports: “Nearly 600 white wooden crosses in perfectly straight rows stretch down the narrow road leading to President Bush’s ranch, a sea of names in the grassy ditch. Lt. Seth Dvorin. Sgt. David W. Johnson. Daniel Torres. Casey Sheehan.”

To some relatives of the fallen U.S. soldiers, however, it isn’t a tribute to heroes but a political statement by liberal groups with whom they disagree.

Sherry Orlando, a spokeswoman at Fort Campbell, Ky., said she doesn’t want her husband, who was killed in Iraq in 2003, to be used “for someone’s political agenda.”

Being in the military … was who he was. It wasn’t just a job. He supported what he did and I support that as well,” she said.

Unfortunately, Cindy Sheehan doesn’t give her son the same respect.
