Poetry and lore speak of a mother's grief, a mother's tears for a deceased child. So perhaps the spotlight after her soldier-son's death in 2004 was bound to be captured by Cindy Sheehan.

For Pat Sheehan, the very private role of simply continuing to be Casey's father has been enough -- until recently, that is. In a blip of publicity Cindy Sheehan bowed out of her diminishing limelight, announcing that she would stop her activism against the Iraq war. In doing so, she declared that Casey Sheehan "did indeed die for nothing."

That statement ended Pat Sheehan's silence.
