Subject: Support the Troops (SGT Ryan J. Montgomery Itinerary for Tuesday, 12 July 05.
Those departing from Elizabethtown: Depart Wilson's Cycle, 1000 hours in-route to the Northgate Shopping Center,
Intersection/Road Junction US 68 & KY 61 to meet with Brothers coming from the North. At this point we are about 2.8
miles from the Green County Middle School, location for the Funeral Services.
We reconed the area this AM and are somewhat familiar with the surroundings. Mario has suggested (great idea) that we check
out the local area in hopes we may see this ilk before they arrive at the Funeral Service site.
Please make every effort to be there in order to pay our respects to a fallen Brother and his family members. If you don't ride/if
you prefer, come in a cage. JUST BE THERE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!
If by chance for some reason anybody is late, there are only 2 signal lights in Greensburg, turn left at the second signal coming
from the Northgate Shopping Center (US 68) and the school is about .8 mile on the left.
With Respect,
Butch

http://www.pigstye.net/iraq/article.php/MontgomeryRyanJ -- A Kentucky National Guard soldier was killed and two others were injured when their vehicle struck an explosive device. Ryan J. Montgomery, 22, of Greensburg, died Sunday while returning from a convoy escort mission near Baghdad, the Kentucky National Guard said in a news release Monday night. The other soldiers wounded in the patrol were evacuated to a military hospital and are in stable condition. Both are expected to recover from their wounds. The families of the wounded soldiers have been notified, but their names were not released. Montgomery was assigned to Bravo Battery 1st Battalion 623rd Field Artillery, based in Campbellsville. His unit mobilized for Operation Iraqi Freedom in November and deployed in January. Montgomery joined the military with his twin brother, Bryan, in September 2000 during their senior year at Green County High School. They served in the same unit. Ryan was an outgoing, top-notch student, said Nelson Pickett, who was principal at the school when Montgomery attended. Pickett described Montgomery as an outspoken student who, like his twin brother, was well-liked by many. "If you knew one of the boys, you knew both of them," Pickett said. "They were very close." Musically inclined, Ryan Montgomery played in the marching band, as well as the school jazz band. He was also a volunteer firefighter. Pickett said the Montgomery twins joined the National Guard as a way to give something back to their country. "They were looking to serve and be a part of that," Pickett said Sharon Montgomery, the twins' stepmother, told the Louisville Courier-Journal, "Greensburg is a small community and everybody lays claim to these boys. Everybody knows them. The whole town is in grief now." Capt. Lawrence A. Joiner, the commander of Bravo Company, said in a written statement that Montgomery would volunteer for any task or mission and handled them well. "He was always happy and smiling. He made you feel good inside every time you would talk to him," Joiner said. Funeral arrangements were not available Monday night. Montgomery was the seventh member of the Kentucky National Guard killed in Iraq. There are currently 1,127 Kentucky National Guard soldiers in Iraq.

PLANNED PROTEST AGAINST THE FUNERAL FOR (SGT Ryan J. Montgomery) Tuesday Greensburg, KY.
From: Address removed
TheyDiedForYou,TheyDiedForMe
PLEASE PASS ON TO YOUR LISTS: This would also be a good time to test the national network of bikers & friends to organize state by state - to be there for the Sgt Ryan's in your state if these morons come to protest those who gave
their lives. Sgt. Montgomery didn't die for medals or for fame.. He died so all our children could walk free and tall, he died for freedon, for God and family, he died for you he died for me. If you can - be there. If you can't - be there this time
do help get something off the ground on a national level and truely support our troops in life and in their death. Contribute time, emails, PR via your local vet/family group(s), what ever it take to ensure those who die, their last walk is one of
honor. ( Song attached says it all: Song was made for USAF Jock Don Russell (MIA/KIA VN)
Jeff Smith wrote: Note: Anyone who wishes to help please join us. This isn't about any one group
or mode of transportation or anything other than doing what must be done in order
to support our troops and their families. Representatives of at least three different
groups are so far involved. M
FYI - Intel provided indicates that Butch has met with the local law enforcement
in order to see what they had planned. They were already aware of the problem
and are hoping that nothing causes any publicity for these clowns of satan. This
concurs with my hopes that we can keep them from being noticed at all, first by
the grieving family, and next by the media. This, of course, means we have to
notice them first. We must accept this responsibility and be vigilant. In the process
we must do nothing to bring bad reputations to our fellow Veterans, our organizations,
and to ourselves. This can be a very tricky endeavor, delicate.
As much as I want to squish the enemy, if we do anything outside the law, the
law enforcement will have to then make us the target of their enforcement. This is
the tricky part. These satanic clowns who protest our troops at funerals do this
often, apparently, so they are probably good at making the other side do things
that can get the other side on the wrong side of the badge. Be careful. We must
concentrate on being quiet, respectful, and graceful for the family at all times. We
must do everything we can to keep these clowns from making noise or from being
seen. The more bodies we have with us, the easier it will be to obscure them from
the family's view and that of the media.
They have been seen at a funeral in FL and were dealt with there appropriately,
I understand, it was a SF funeral. They have been to Bowling Green once as
well and I did not know about that one until after the fact. So, they get around and
probably know what they are doing.
If we can get some scouts on the ground early, (Highway and Chuck, know what I
mean?), we can identify the pukes, and with luck, keep them out. Although law
enforcement is on our side, they made it clear that they have a job and they have
to allow these pukes to have their say that our Combat Veteran brethren fought for.
How about that for a little irony?
Wish List...
1) local intel of motels, hotels, in Greensburg and also surrounding communities looking for Kansas plates, etc. (of course they may be in rented vehicles). The look like a very low budget operation so they may drive in that morning also. There are not too many main roads into Greensburg so a handful of scouts could get the job done and keep in commo with each other via cell phone.
2) local intel early that day on the ground looking for same, and for suspicious characters. I suspect they will have posterboard or printed cloth to carry in as a disruption or to be seen outside.
3) diversionary tactics to call the law enforcement attention to something other than the direction of these clowns so we can take their signs, etc.
4) digital photos of these clowns once we uncover them and of their vehicles and plates
5) the Lord to intervene through our prayers and not allow these terrible human beings
anywhere near Greensburg, KY on Tuesday.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your many blessings so graciously bestowed upon us, we who are not worthy. We ask forgiveness for our sins and accept that your Son Jesus Christ died on the cross at Calvary so that we may be forgiven and receive salvation, provided by the sacrifice of your only begotten son. He lived to die for us. Thank you for the example of a sin free life Father.
Father, the Montgomery family has sacrificed their son for the freedoms of others, in an act for which there is no higher calling. This is a symbolic representation of the very sacrifice that you made for us through your Son Jesus Christ. Father, please watch over the Montgomery family and especially Ryan's twin brother Bryan in this time of grief. Please give them the strength they need to get through this and somehow Father, let them know that you are there for them, always. Let them know that through faith and grace, they will be able to join Ryan again in heaven Father. Although we are saddened by the loss of young Sergeant Ryan Montgomery,
Father, we do not question your wisdom. We know that one day we will understand when we enter into your kingdom.
We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
Amen.
Mario
Leaving Southpoint in LEFTington, KY approximately 0800 - 0815 EST Tuesday.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can stop/overshadow the protesters with numbers. When my family burri ed my brother in Washington, DC, we had protesters at the gate shouting and screaming all the usual anti-war shit, let me say it has a life lasting memory that does not go away. Please, do not let this family endure the shit the protesters are about to inflict on them. The contact info is provided below.
Again, please come, one and all, Vets, family memebers, and anyone who loves this country and those fighting to protect her. If you know anyone in the area or have a distribution list, please pass this on! Lets stop them once and for all.

Canteen ping. KY Family of fallen warrior is about to be "blessed" by that Phelps moron. Can you help?
Is it Phelps's group that's planning the "protest"?
That Guy is insane
It didn't say specifically in the emails, but I'm sure it is. I had alerted this group when they were headed to FL from a post I saw here on FR. Today I got this email and I wanted to return the favor. These families do NOT deserve this treatment, and had I been in their shoes and my brother been the one who had died, I don't think you could have held me back from beating the pure living hell out of them.
Prayer bump.
I can't wait until I can say "Thank God for (whatever killed Fred)".
Phelps is sick, who would protest a funeral?
My sentiments exactly. And if he keeps this up it won't be long. He'll get in the face of the wrong person and that'll be that.
You know one of these times the protesters are going to run head on into a large motorcycle club laying one of their own to rest who served. That could make for some real interesting news coverage.
BTTT!!!!!!!!
Thank you Star for this information. God, please hold our fallen Troops in your arms and bring solace to their families.
Please do not let detractors of our Soldiers fight for our freedoms get a say in our Nation's history.
We love and honor and respect all of our Troops.
Thank God for the bombing of London's subway
Thank God for IEDs!
We were lucky in Idaho here. I came across one of these bulletins for the death of Specialist Carrie French and contacted a good friend whose a leader of the Christian Conservative movement who I met through the Keep the Commandments Coalition. He alerted the family and let them know what was up and also worked the local media to pursuade them to come to a Gentleman's agreement not to cover the story. It got little play in the press and when it did get play, Christian Conservative leaders got a chance to respond. Bottom line is you need some local on the ground there in Kentucky with some influence.
Ok- then can I say "Dear Lord- please provide a proper welcoming committee of motorcycle bikers and good patriotic Americans to 'properly welcome' Mr. Phelps if he chooses to protest a soldier's funeral"? Would that be "wrong"? LOL
