    I don't know this hero but I will be there. It makes no difference to me if the "Patriot Guard Riders" are there because they have taken an on-the-record "defensive/neutral" stance on counter protesting these protesters and I do not agree with that. How PC of them. I fully understand and agree that getting into altercations can distract from the purpose of the funeral and interrupt the mourning process. I, however, feel as though we owe it to this hero. I can only assume that he feels the same way I do - and that is that I would be honored and proud to know my fellow servicemen fought for my honor and what is right. There are some things you don't say and some things you don't mess with - funerals of service members are one of those things. Take your first amendment and stick it up your ass if it protects this kind of evil.

    The North Texas Tea Party (northern suburbs of Dallas) will be there. We have a large banner (full-sized bedsheet), signed by many of us, to help shield the family. We'll coordinate with the Patriot Guard and Red River once there.

    DieHardDano: your reaction is EXACTLY what the Westboro people want. They have their lawyers all lined up and this is a goal of theirs to become wealthy from martyrdom. Do NOT give them what they want.
