They also threaten to protest the funeral of our friend Col. Roy Lin Tisdale. Hundreds of Aggies formed a human wall around Central Baptist Church, and a bunch of different biker groups showed up and lined the roads with American flags and formed a big circle around the funeral possession. They arrived to the cemetery before us and formed a huge circle around us to keep out any protesters.

That's really good. We are hoping for something similar in West. The problem is it will be several funerals, likely at several different cemeteries.

I think it's really disgusting that Westboro exists and is a glaring sign of many of the things wrong with humanity. If I could, I'd be up there in a heartbeat to help form the wall.

I would be standing by your side Kilsharion!!

West isn't that big. Given the size of Texas, we should have enough people to ring in the entire town....maybe I will take time off of work to drive up there...

Yes, I know, ringing an entire town isn't realistic...but....you don't understand my level of hate on I have for Westboro.....my son is someone they would love to spit on...and, I won't tolerate that from anyone. Aside from the fact they are just disgusting anyway...it just adds a whole other level of .... I'm going to go weigh my eggs now and focus on something that doesn't raise my blood pressure....

I hate to say it.. but had my husband been killed instead of just wounded.. Westboro would have wished for the bikers and others to protect THEM if they had shown up at his funeral...

i would be sitting in a jail somewhere.. but it would have been worth it...

On a happier subject...after weighing my eggs, I am within .02% of the desired weight for day three.

Unfortunately, the only eggs showing any development are my Red Dorkings....the Cream Legbars and Isbars and Marans are all showing zero development. They could just be slow to get started, though. So, here's hoping for a good check up in four days' time.

Some people have no respect. Like to give them a different kinda red %€***~¥
As a Vet of the first Gulf War and Proud Mom of a young man who spends way too much time in the sand I see RED. and as a Baptist I'm more than offended that they should claim that title.

That makes me feel better then.

Another thing I would like to note. Westboro baptist church has decided to protest some of the funerals in West. Right now some people have started the red wall against westboro. I think it is really neat that all those people are going to wear red t shirts and stand quietly between westboro and the funerals.

You know, I don't care for what they do. However I do not want legislation to ban them because that would infringe on their rights and infringing on their rights could mean that other people's rights are at risk too. And that's not what this country is supposed to be about. I know that a lot of veteran's groups do their best to prevent those people from getting too close to the military funerals by taking up parking space and making a physical barricade to keep them out. Had not heard about anyone else doing that.

I'd be right there with you along with as many veterans from Tyler that I could round up...

Thank your son for his service for me.
