As <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/08/obama-honored-fallen-seals-by-sending-their-parents-a-form-letter-signed-by-electric-pen/" target="_blank">Gateway Pundit’s</a> Jim Hoft reminds us, it is the <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/afghanistan/2011-08-06-nato-helicopter-crash_n.htm" target="_blank">deadliest single loss</a> of U.S. forces in the Afghanistan campaign.</p>
<p>Among those killed in the crash were <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/portraits-navy-seals-killed-helicopter-crash" target="_blank">17 members</a> of the U.S. Navy SEALs. And although the deadly attack was over a year ago, it wasn’t until yesterday that, apparently, parents of fallen SEALs revealed that were sent stock letters with President Obama’s electronic signature.</p>

Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death,” Hoft reports.</p>
<p>A form letter?</p>
<p>But wait. There’s more.</p>
<p>“Karen Vaughn reached out to the parents of the other SEALs killed in that crash,” Hoft adds. “Their letters were all the same. Form letters — signed by an electric pen.”</p>
<p>After a closer inspection of the letter sent to the parents of <a href="http://www.wavy.com/dpp/military/navy/nicholas-heath-null-bio" target="_blank">Chief Petty Officer Nicholas H. Null</a>, it would appear that it’s exactly the same as the others:</p>
