I misunderstood the OP and realized this after I posted. Thanks for the clarification.

At about 9 a.m. just so happened to be on MacDill AFB today and while exiting the Bayshore gate, SSG Seiga's procession was just entering the gate. There were probably 30 police officers on motorcycles. Very somber to see.

Edit: I'm mistaken....the hearse was entering at 9 a.m. Evidentally SSG Seiga's body arrived to the airbase after 11:00 to be taken to the funeral home.

The sacrifices our military make on a daily basis is the reason why Phelps and his Cult enjoy their First Amendment rights. For some organizations like the Westboro Baptist Hate Group, freedom of speech means you have a license to show how completely stupid, ignorant and hateful one can be.

Here in Texas, the Westboro Baptist Cult planned on protesting the funeral of a fallen soldier, students at Texas A&M got together and formed a human barricade to block any protesters from getting near the funeral or between them and the funeral procession of the soldier -- Phelps and his Cult never showed up.

I dealt with this group while they were in Norfolk, VA outside the main gate. I have never seen them around a funeral before, but even the thought of them makes me think that Freedom of Speech should not count when they cause so much hate.
I spent 26+ years defending thier right to say what they want, but I would just as soon see them peppered with Yellow paint guns by a 1000 people.
I may just go down there to help be a shield.
No family that has to go through this after these military HERO's gave the ultimate sacrifice.

We greatly appreciate your dedication and service to our country, and completely agree no family should ever have to experience this unjustified hatred from this extremist sect of crazies. These military hero's gave the ultimate sacrifice and honor for their country and certainly deserve much better than that.

Westboro is not a church, it's a hate group filed with a family of wackos and head nut job Fred is nothing more than a hate filled media hungry parasite.


The Final Inspection.

You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets
You've done your time in Hell.

Their Names Liveth Forever More
