JAGG this makes me sick!
My parents are proud members of The Patriot Guard Riders...
I have had the honor to hear similar story's recently...
JAGG I just read this to my dad, he asked if you could send me the link so that he can share it tomorrow at a couple of funerals...
Today The Patriot Guard Riders were there to welcome home one of our local boys...
My dad said it was incredible... I am tearing up just thinking about it... For the almost 60 miles back here to town there were people standing on the both sides of the road way... My dad was saying it was heartbreaking to have to see this young mans two year old daughter and hear her say... "My daddy is home...

The reason their son or daughter died is because the military allows queers.
When they showed up in McAlester Oklahoma for a funeral, not only did all the people of the town show up , to counter protest against the westboro church, so that no one in the grieving family could hear westboro's hate message, ( all they heard were the towns people saying God Bless America )etc... But when the westboro church returned to there cars , they found their tires slashed , and not one single tire shop in town would repair their tires. They had to call AAA to tow them somewhere else.
I absolutely love this story and I love the people of McAlester for standing up for what is right. I need new tires on my truck, I think I'll drive down to McAlester even though it's 2 and a half hours away, and get some new tires, before the month is out.
