Obama Honored Fallen SEALs By Sending Their Parents...

A Form Letter Signed By Electric Pen

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 10:31 AM

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.

Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death.

It’s a form letter.

UPDATE: But Obama did send a personal letter http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/08/obama-sent-personal-letter-of-condolence-to-rappers-family-sent-form-letter-to-families-of-fallen-seals/ to rapper Heavy D’s family when he passed away.

Does the electric pen vary it's signatures? Because there is a big difference between the O's in Obama in those two letters...

He didn't know them personally, what should he have written to satisfy the outraged?

He didn't know them they didn't want to know him, Over. move on.

Why don't you tell the OP to move on? He's the one who brought it up.

Everyone move on. BO don't care bout no military personel. they don't care about him.

MODS CLOSE THIS TOPIC.

These men, all 30 of them, not only volunteered but dedicated a large part of their lives to defending this nation at the sharp end of the spear. A few moments of the CIC's time to sign a few letters (probably written by staffers) seems like a very low price to pay for the lives of 30 men. Anyone who feels like a form letter from the POTUS to the deceased next of kin is appropriate is entitled to state their opinion in large part because these 30 men and many more in the history of the United States made the choice to defend our Constitution and way of life even when it might mean suffering catastrophic injuries or death.

The White House today disputed the suggestion that the president had used an auto-pen to sign condolence letters to the families of Navy SEALs killed in a Chinook crash in Afghanistan last year.

“The President personally signs every letter to the families of fallen service members in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, “and he has said many times that it is one of the most difficult parts of his job and a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform.”

The White House did not dispute that the letters were form letters, but that would appear to not be unique to this president. A 2003 Newsweek story reported that the sympathy letters grieving families had received from President George W. Bush were “form letters. With the exception of the salutation and a reference to the fallen soldier in the text, the letters the families shared with me are all the same.”
