Thanks!

I just called the church and they said , “Come early, we’re expecting a large crowd.”

When she learned that the Westboro folks will be there, Mrs BN said, “Now don’t do anything to get yourself arrested!”

Who, me? Sweetness & Light personified! What trouble could a white haired, trifocals wearing, triple bypass patient geezer cause? (as he softly hums “From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli...”)

Lance Corporal Nicholas O’brien just turned 21. I was a Lance Corporal when I turned 21 in Vietnam. I’d like to tell that to the Westboro crew and get them to look me in the eye and defend what they are doing today.

Pray for the O’Brien family.

Today is about honoring L/Cpl O’Brien and sharing in his family’s grief.

It is NOT about a bunch of loonies from Westboro, nor is it about an old Marine veteran’s disgust at these loonies.
