Everyone,
I have been checking into a group that has really got my blood preasure up. This group that affiliates them with a church goes around and protests at funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq protecting our great country. Just look at the pictures of their protests that are within the shouting distance from the greiving families. These pictures are from our great state of Indiana, just 4 days ago. I am here to say they will not get away with this agian on my watch. If they plan to protest in this state again it will be with great aggression towards them. Please, i need help in spreading the word against this group. If anyone is interested in helping stop these people from terrorizing families at the funerals of their loved ones, let me know. I will try and keep everyone up to speed as to when they plan to come to Indiana. Thanks for your time.

Maybe Marion you could have a topic listing about this? Its a shame that some unknowing soul would be cheated when they think they are purchasing something that represents the people they honor!
WE WERE NOT TOLD WHAT TO EAT, BUT ADVISED TO EAT LIGHTLY AND STAY AWAY FROM GASEY FOODS. USUALLY WE HAD POWDERED EGGS, BACON, TOAST AND COFFEE. THERE WERE TIMES THAT ONE REALLY DIDN"T FEEL MUCH LIKE EATING WHEN FACING THE UNKNOWN AND YOUR STOMACH WAS TIED IN A KNOT.
I DON"T KNOW IF THE GUYS THAT FLEW IN THE PRESSURIZED B-29S HAD THESE PROBLEMS OR NOT.
