A Kansas-based hate-group by the name of Westboro Baptist Church (not affiliated with any Baptist organizations) has announced that they intend to protest the funeral of this young man. Westboro has been picketing military funerals since 2005, bringing untold emotional distress and pain to the friends and families of many heroic, fallen soldiers.
I am asking, not only as a patriotic American, but as a member of our community, that you would consider attending the funeral of Benjamin White. This family needs to see an outpouring of community support on a day that will be incredibly hard, even without the addition of protestors.
We intend to shield this funeral from Westboro Baptist Church by creating a human wall, with flags raised high and hearts most thankful.
This is our hero, our son, and our friend....
....Please show your support

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times,serif]BRING A FLAG
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]The following words are from the preacher at Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas.
"God hates America and is killing our troops in His wrath. Military funerals have become pagan orgies of idolatrous blasphemy, where they pray to the dunghill gods of Sodom and play taps to a fallen fool."
Friends, can they any more insulting to us? Can we sit idly by and let the few control the many of us who believe in a righteous God? Will you join me in a protest to the protesters by going in droves to stand up for our beliefs. We will leave Colonial Heights Christian Church at 4:00 on Monday to stand before the church in which services will be held for Airman Benjamin White. and bar these Kansas people from getting anywhere near the family or the church.
Remember this................ there are only 2 men who will and have given their lives for us. One is Jesus and the other is an American soldier.
Bring a flag to wave.
