Local Woman Seeks Support for Fallen Soldier

Posted in News Desk by Jordan McLendon
Oct 20 2011

I wanted to send you some information about a young marine who was just killed Friday Oct 13, 2011.  He will be brought home tomorrow Oct 20, 2011 to a wonderful processional route with people standing and honoring him as a hero.  His family is grieving terribly for this young man.   As hard as this time has got to be for them the Douglas County Commissioners have received word that his funeral on Sunday will be in protest by a church called Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas.  This church seems to cause protest to any fallen soldier.  They hold up horrible signs saying many differend things.  There web site is called http://www.godhatesfags.com.  Check out their beliefs and motives.  Spread the word that these so called Christians do not need to cause problems for the fallen soldier.  Let America know what is going on.  I trust you to get the word out.
