Grandma's House

I almost forgot to tell you about a story that brought joy to my heart today. Unfortunately it involves the funeral of Army Private Christopher Marion. Those nimrods who call themselves a church from Kansas planned to protest at his funeral. These were the people who claim our soldiers are being killed because the U.S. permits homosexuality. Like I said, nimrods. Anyway, our Governor Blunt signed a new law into effect last week which banned such protests one hour before and after funerals. These protestors planned to challenge the law.

Private Marion's funeral was today. Several police departments, including the Mo. Highway Patrol, showed up to protect the attendees. They probably could have stayed on patrol, because hundreds of veterans showed up as well! Isn't that great? They formed a very long line on both sides of the street, waving flags and being very respectful of the family. It really makes you proud to see something like that.

And the Westboro protestors? They never showed up.
