The Mashpee Vigil

I want to know why these guys get three straight days of articles while these kids are forgotten.

Those kids just NOBODIES, huh, and they don't promote the war effort, so why bother, right, BG?

Not that the sacrifices of our veterans should be ignored; however, the MSM ignores all those we have killed based on these lies.

Their SELECTIVITY has TAINTED any coverage they could offer about ANYTHING, readers?


"The light of fallen friends; Mashpee mourns three lost to war" by Michael Levenson and Brian R. Ballou, Globe Staff | August 19, 2008

MASHPEE - About 600 people turned out at Mashpee's Community Park last night for a candlelight vigil honoring the town's three fallen members of the military.

But they won't cover antiwar vigils!

Yeah, I have had it with the LYING WAR DAILY!!!!

Holding white candles shielded by clear plastic cups, the mourners listened to town administrators, local politicians, and close family friends offer words of condolence to the families of Marine Daniel A. C. McGuire, and soldiers Paul E. Conlon and Alicia Birchett.

The families listened to the emotional expressions as they sat in white folding chairs in front of a makeshift podium. The scene included Boy Scouts, veterans groups, active-duty military in uniform, as well as many residents sporting Army T-shirts and Marine buzz cuts.

Why you here and not serving?

McGuire was a clean-cut church volunteer who loved acting in school musicals and dreamed of becoming a kindergarten teacher. Conlon was a strong-willed artist who played classical piano, wrote poetry, wore spike-studded belts, and had his hair cut in a Mohawk.

And now they are DEAD becuase of BUSH'S LIES -- which the Boston Globe here helped transmit chapter and verse!

Birchett, 29, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, was an Army staff sergeant who was killed on Aug. 9, 2007, after she was pinned by a truck while changing its tire in Baghdad. A dedicated mother of three boys, she died following her life's calling, mourners said.

"Paul and Dan were pretty much one and the same," said Kari Brissell, 18, who said she dated McGuire for nearly two years in high school and kept in touch with him via e-mail when he was serving in Iraq. "They were both really strong about the military. They both did sports. They both made people laugh, and they were the people you wanted to be around. Everyone wanted to be around either one of them because they were lighthearted, fun people."

Yesterday, Mashpee High School opened its doors to grieving students and planned the candlelight vigil in the town's Veterans Garden, a simple memorial with an American flag planted in the middle of a pathway of bricks engraved with the names of service members killed in action.

"A lot of my friends are saying it's unfair," Brissell said. "It isn't fair to lose two great people like that in the same week."

Yup, Amerikans JUST CAN'T BELIEVE that people DIE in WAR!

And imagine how OUR VICTIMS FEEL -- the MILLIONS of THEM!!!!

McGuire, 19, a private first class in the Marines, died Thursday when his patrol outside Fallujah came under small-arms fire, according to Sydney Chase, Mashpee's veterans agent. Conlon, 21, an Army private first class, died Friday when his Humvee struck a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, his family said.
