We had less than a week to work with - but over 700 members of the community, and about 100 Patriot Guard lined the route from the funeral home to the cemetary. We all held American flags - there was no room for the protesters and the police, (fearing for the safety of those whackos), escorted them all away from the funeral.

It takes a little work - but a community can pull together and do the right thing for a fallen soldier.

wonderful job, so wonderful to see a community pull together in a time of need, protestors do not belong at funerals, that is time to grieve, not protest !!!
What is wrong with people today???
