Shawn is my husband and we have 2onderful sons together. Shawn is a great guy, a loving and devoted husband and father. Shawn has came along way in life, and I am very proud of Shawn (Skeeder as many know him). He use to be a town cop for Richwood, he was also a mechanic at Mowery's and Hewitt's for sometime, he then worked for GP. Shawn is going on 19 years in the military and he did reenlist for another 6 years. This is something he really enjoys doing. He is just one of those type of guys. He loves to help people. So when he is called out to Flood duty and war he is ready to go! Yeah, it may be hard to leave his family behind, but he says he wants to go so one day his boys won't have to go! He also knows we are right here waiting on him when he returns home, We always have his back. Shawn is still in Iraq. Hopefully by mid July they will all be home! I would like to Thank everyone for their support!

Going to Iraq to murder its innocent citizens "so one day his boys won't have to go," reveals you to be married to a cretin. Iraq did nothing to cause the U.S. the slightest concern.
The biggest worry with dysfunctional families like yours is the the future of the kids. It seems to me that you are going to raise them to be other than thoroughly ashamed of the piece of filth you married.
What the world does not need is more pea-brained scum murdering for oil.
With any luck, he won't be back and you might just stand an outside chance of meeting a decent man, who can explain to you and those poor kids the difference between right and wrong.

You are the biggest piece of trash on the Richwood City Forum. You are such a low life piece of trash that you make the former mayor look like a prince! You are scum and deserve nothing better than to be put in front of a firing squad for the trash and filth that you wrote on here!!!!!!!!!!

If this war was about oil, then why is our oil supply low you moron. Iraq keeps their own oil and is rebuilding the city with the oil profits. You better know your facts before you go on with your trash talk!

With a name like Marat he/she has to be Muslim, just like Obama is as much Muslim as he is black. I'm a die-hard democrat but there is no way I will vote Obama.

It is sad to know there is people out there who scan the internet to find a place that they can speak their trash. They have nothing better to do, but sit in their lonely world and a hope to find a place where postive things are being said about soldiers. So, they can down them. Hoping others will agree. You are entilted to your opinion, but be prepared to get slammed back. Comments that Marat made doesn't weaking me, it only makes me STRONGER! He/She needs to learn that when you point the finger at someone you have 3 pointing back at yourself. I know what kind of person my husband is and I know how my children are being raised. What scares me is people like that having families. The reason this world is in the shape that it is in, is because of ignorant people, with no facts, who like to point their fingers and cause problems. I don't have anything against muslims or any other religion, but it is people like Marat that gives these people a bad name, and starts the problems. If they would take the time out to read, they would have seen why my husband earned a bronze star, and I don't see anywhere that it says he killed someone! So, you need to read before you speak, childish one! As for Pea-brained Scum take a good long look in the mirror an you will see what it is truly like looking at one!

Marat, you are clueless and you are a plain stupid idiot. How could you say anything like you did. I am proud of every one in Iraq who is over there fighting for our freedom. You are the dumbest person I have ever seen put anything on this site. I
am very proud of Shawn and all the unit and also everyone over there. From now on, just keep your mouth shut. Just look in the mirror and see how stupid you are. You need to be in Iraq in front of the firing squad.

As you ask, I can write those words because all I say is true - unlike your silly tosh about fighting Iraqis (who never posed the U.S. any threat) "for our freedom."
This vile grunt was helping destroy a country and murder folk. His supportive wife presumes otherwise because it's his good buddies that do the killing while he only looks on and smiles.
She had better try real hard to keep those poor kids in their present state of imbecilic ignorance (as yours, for example). If they ever learn to read properly and find out what an evil piece of filth their father is, that family will be torn apart.
As a father and husband, he is a total waste of time and the family would benefit by him being replaced by a decent, moral man who would prefer taking care of them to aiding a despicable, illegal occupation of a sovereign country.

Someone needs to get ahold of your sovereign mind and put some sense in there! I reckon that you are too stupid to listen to the news as your sovereign mind will only allow what little minute pieces of information that it can decipher in less than 10 seconds per day.

Keep your trash talk off of here and go about your life in your little sovereign mind because there is NOT ONE OUNCE of room in our lives for you! Thank God you are not an American as we loathe trash like you!!!!!! Don't forget to get in front of the firing squad tomorrow if your weak mind can decipher that!

No need to try to tell me what the scum of the earth " do every day," as I can read for myself.
They killed about 1 million innocent people, destroyed ancient cities like Fallujah, tortured thousands of Iraqi men, women and children and created 4 million refugees/displaced. They have raped and murdered and covered-up every atrocity, including the death of "hero" Pat Tillman.
The shame of this illegal occupation will linger for years, while the disgraced Stars and Stripes flag will always remind civilized countries that Americans stink out the planet.

Filth is the trash these people keep talking, I pray to God they aren't apart of the US. I would hate to know they are enjoying their freedom that our soldiers over the years have given them.
They only go by what the media tells them, and everyone knows the media only thrives on negative reports most of the time. They never show the positive side. My husband is an Engineer in the military and you best look it up and see what that means. The first time over there they built the Iraqians a soccer field and many other things that they was never alllowed to have, and he has made many friends from there that their families were killed for simply not allowing Sadam to do have his way or something they had. One man my husband met had his calve muscles removed because he was a better soccer player than Sadam's son. So you know, if you aren't over there seeing and hearing some what these poeple are telling our soldiers for yourself ,keep your mouth shut and stay off and keep your Filthy comments to yourself. Cause we all know you aren't from here and those who don't live here don't enjoy the Freedom that we have. I can bet you have looked Richwood up on the internet trying to figure out where we are. By the way God is on my husband's side and he will see him home safely. As I said before you just search the internet to trash talk, and then you pass it on to a buddy and he does the same. Childish little games you play! As of right now, I will not waste another breath on you, cause I know what is right from wrong and my family does too and we (the US Citizens)are PROUD OF OUR SOLDIERS!

Wendy, we all know the truth and are so very proud of Shawn and all our guys serving in the military. Don't let this anti-American take up any of your time. Everyone else, I encourage you, do not respond to him. That is what he wants.
