Laura Youngblood’s husband Travis (27) was killed in Iraq in July of 2005 while serving in the U.S. Navy. Tavis Youngblood left behind one small child and his eight-months pregnant wife.
Like Cindy Sheehan, Laura is also a Gold Star Mom. Unlike Cindy Sheehan*, Laura continues to support the men and women of the U.S. military.
Cindy’s supporters claim that she has an ultimate authority to speak out against the war, and the right to do so without being disparaged — after all, her son made the ultimate sacrafice, and she’s a grieving mother.
You would think that Cindy and her supporters would feel the same way about a young widow such as Luara Youngblood. You would also be wrong.
Sheehan: “I am starting to lose a little compassion for them. I know they have been as brainwashed as the rest of America, but they know the pain and heartache and they should not wish it on another. However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for these “continue the murder and mayhem” moms to see the light.”
Murder and Mayhem moms???
ALa at Blonde Sagacity has this to say about Sheehan:
So, to all of you that have felt bad about bashing Cindy (since her son was killed in Iraq) –consider yourself absolved. She has no trouble bashing others that have lost husbands, sons and daughters in Iraq.
Personally, I’ve never felt any guilt about bashing Cindy Sheehan. I knew that she was standing on her dead son’s grave for her own selfish, anti-American agenda from the moment I saw her camped out in Crawford.
Also, unlike Cindy Sheehan, Laura’s husband has a headstone marking his grave. Casey Sheehan still lies in an unmarked grave, as Cindy has been too “busy” to buy her son a headstone, despite the near half-million dollars she’s received because of his death.





Is this woman really dealing with the death of a son? No marker on the grave indicates to me she is not. I think she’s in for a big head crash a few years from now when her cause celeb is over. That’s the kindest thing I can say about her.
