I've said it before: I'm not a big fan of the Iraqi War, but I don't care for Cindy Sheehan's antics or attitude. "[Narcissistic](http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/09/26/D8CS3A900.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)," Mark Shea has speculated, and I tend to agree with him. But she properly grieves the loss of a son who, this blogger says, was a great man:

> Casey Sheehan \[could\] well be a saint. He was an altar boy as a youth, and served as a eucharistic minister for his fellow soldiers. On the day he died, he went to Mass, and when he got back he heard that the Mahdi Army had trapped a group of soldiers and were slowly picking them off, one by one. Specialist Sheehan volunteered to help rescue them.

> He didn't have to go. He was a mechanic, and nobody ordered him on the mission. But he insisted on helping his comrades. Fanatic thugs ambushed his vehicle and murdered him and another soldier, Corporal Forest J. Jostes.

> Specialist Sheehan and six other soldiers died that day, Palm Sunday, 2004\. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for battlefield valor.
