Kathy Dyer is a name we should remember every time we hear about "Mother" Sheehan.
As Mrs. Dyer said at a memorial service for her son, Lance Cpl. Christopher J. Dyer, she urged mourners to not to let their anger or other feelings over his loss turn them against the U.S. fight in Iraq.
She said her son would want people to continue supporting the troops and the war effort. "Honor me in this way"
"He saw this as just another way to measure himself, another test," said his father, John Dyer. "Chris didn't want to be less than the best at anything."
Rest in Peace, LCpl Dyer. Your sacrifice will be remembered as it should be.
Your name will not be used in a hatefilled anti-American diatribe as "Mother" Sheehan has done with her son. Too bad that the LSM will continue to showcase Cindy Sheehan, while Kathy Dyer will just continue to grieve her loss, and maintain her pride in her son, in private. I'm glad that Mrs. Dyer won't have to worry about media intrusion on her grief, but feel sickened that the rabid Left will continue to find a willing pawn in "Mother" Sheehan to furthur their sick agenda.
Update: Muhammed at Iraq the Model answered "Mother" Sheehans question of why her son died, and said it better than I ever could:
Your son sacrificed his life for a very noble cause…No, he sacrificed himself for the most precious value in this existence; that is freedom.His blood didn't go in vain; your son and our brethren are drawing a great example of selflessness.
God bless his free soul and God bless the souls of his comrades who are fighting evil.
God bless the souls of Iraqis who suffered and died for the sake of freedom.
God bless all the freedom lovers on earth.
Go and read the entire post, it puts the war into a perspective that counters all the hate-filled diatribes of those that use the war as a means to attack their true enemy, President Bush.
Kathy Dyer is a twit. A sucker and a fool. She didn't love her son, and couldn't care less that he is gone. She's sick.
Pretty terrible stuff eh? I of course don't mean any of it, but imagine if somebody were scummy enough to say those things about her. That would mean I'd be - well - like you.
Posted by: John at August 17, 2005 07:34 PMWell John, you can have your opinion, but it seems to me that Sheehan is the one who is a "sucker and a fool".
SHE is the one who is willingly being used as a tool for idiological purposes by organizations such as MoveOn.org et al. By doing so, she has put herself in the position of reaping what she sows.
I have NO doubt that she loved her son, and certainly grieves his loss, but to engage in the rhetoric and actions she has; she demonstrates a great disrespect for his memory, and doing everything you can to make your son seem to be an unintelligent pawn is sick.
Thats MY opinion.
