Last week a Chinook Helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan and 31 American souls left our ranks. On Thursday one of them, a Navy Seal will be laid to rest by his family in Philladephia, PA.
However a bunch of oxygen theives from Westboro, Kansas are planning to protest at the funeral. This is about the most despicable thing that can happy, yet it is still going to happen.
I am helping pass on a request to those in or near the Philladelphia area who could be at the funeral to participate in a friendly protest against those from Westboro and protect the grieving family.
“On Thurs., Aug. 18, at 2:15 p.m. Cathedral of St Peter & Paul 1723 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA. Westboro Baptistchurchis planning one of their despicable protests at the funeral of Navy SEAL Michael Strange, who passed away in Afghanistan last week. Let’s join the non-violent blockade of that piece of crap who desecrates our heroes funerals and honor our brother Michael Strange and his family.”

What an immoral act upon the part of the Westboro Baptist church members’. How can they be so empty of compassion. Too bad Kansas isn’t more aggressive in their laws to protect those who protect our country.

For those wanting to have some idea of who the Westboro Baptist are, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church This is a small group who seem full of hate and blindness.
