A friend of my husband's was killed recently doing his duty in the Army. His loss will be felt by many. I did not him well and had, in fact, only met him a handful of times. Each and every time, though, he was with his two beautiful daughters and when I think of him I think of what a great father he was. I am heartbroken for their loss and for the void their mother must be feeling.

I am angered beyond belief, though, to know that his funeral was invaded and protested by a vile group. This group is organized as a church, but is like no church I know. I am quite certain that it is not Christlike to picket the funerals of soldiers and harass the bereaved families. I refuse to name the group and I refuse to link to them because they sicken me so much.

Please, keep this family in your prayers at this difficult time that was made even more so by awful people trying to push an agenda in a heartless and disgusting way.
