I've spent many hours standing the flagline with the Patriot Guard to make sure when these turds show up to protest a funeral, the family is shielded from their vile messages.

I haven't spent hundreds of hours doing it, but I've spent a few.

I think that in this respect the WBC actually provides a service to the families of our fallen servicemen and women.

When you've got hundreds of people showing up to block out the bullshit caused by 6 or 8 radicals it sends a message of how much ordinary Americans actually appreciate the sacrifices our troops are making.

If there were no radical yahoos playing the role WBC plays there would be no real need for hundreds of ordinary Americans to show up to those kids' funerals and wave flags and just generally show support.

It sucks that there's a need, but it's gratifying to see how overwelmingly the need is being filled - and I think the parents and loved ones of our troops see that.
