Sandy- Good on you! You guys have expenses; if you have a kitty send me the name of the appropriate person and I'll send you a contribution. How can anyone have the insensivity (and warped mind?) to protest at a funeral of someone defending our country?

To the folks in texas that repied. All I wanted was to find Sean to see his 23 while I am there this Sat.
Off the Monty list: I ride a motorcycle and I'm a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. Our function is to go to funerals of fallen Iraq soldiers and shield the family of the soldier from the war protesters that have started showing up at veteran funerals of late. No action is taken. We just present ourselves in a line so the procession can't see the protesters. The funeral this Sat is for the first soldier from lake Havasu to die. Riders are coming from Southern California and all over Az for this. Many are staying the night at high rates because the Motorcycle Laughlin River Run is also this weekend . All the fuel, food and motels are on the expense of the riders as volunteers. We state no politcal views, it's just done out of respect for a fallen veteran.
