This past winter, an old friend(Matt) from High School, also a soldier fighting in Iraq, was hit by a huge explosion. His whole body was essentially burned through and through... He was then transported to a burn center in San Antonio, Texas where he was just getting worse... He finally past away April 27th... His funeral is scheduled for May 6th...Needless to say I am nearly in tears writing this now...
The cool thing is that after he passed away, he was flown up here and, he and his family were litterally given a police escort from the airport to the funeral home more than 50 miles away. On there way up, as they were going through each town on the expressway, the whole fire and police departments from each little town lined the overpasses with there lights flashing.....
THE Worse part about it is.....I am not sure if anybody here has ever heard of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas...but they have planned a "protest" against MATT!!! They intend on spewing there anti-gay and anti-America Hatred towards Matt AT HIS FUNERAL!!!!!!!!!!!WTF They have done this to countless funerals across the country to OUR OWN DECEASED TROOPS...
They have set up a website here...HOWEVER, if you have children around, make them leave because you will not only believe what it is called but you will also not believe the content on this site!!! The direct link to his protest info is here
Needless to say I have ditched everything else to attend his funeral but I feel that if I go there WILL be problems between my baseball bat and these "peoples'"(if you can call them that) heads!!!
Please, his family needs support...So do I...What should I do?? And What Is Wrong With People In This Country?
