Weir Family Speaks Out About Potential Protests

Angela Lee

September 23,2006

As family and friends of Sergeant David Weir prepare to say their final good-byes. They make one final statement for our camera. Sergeant David Weir died while serving in the 101st Airborne September 13th. Sergeant Weir's funeral is set to take place Monday. In the wake of his final farewell, a Kansas church group has announced their intent to protest outside of the funeral. The church says the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq are “an angry God's say of punishing American's acceptance of homosexuality”. Saturday, Sergeant Weir's brother Chris tells NewsChannel9 his brother died protecting freedom. Chris Weir says while people are free to express their opinions, is unique and comes with responsibility. He says, “There is a time and a place for everything. Express your views. It is your right – but not here and not now.” With the threat of protester's presence, the Weir's call out to all who would like to honor Sergeant David Weir, to not retaliate or acknowledge the protest... But to honor Sergeant David Weir and his family by coming and lining Cleveland's streets with flags and banners of thanks.

Actually, they're all lawyers, including the disbarred Dad.

They live off of the lawsuits filed against individuals and communities who cross them. they know the local laws better than the locals do.

Fred has made a life of suing

[Liberty Valance]

I don't know but i just added Tennessee to the keywords.
Prayers for the Weir family. Heroes all.

[StarCMC]

RIP Sergeant David Weir

 

The Mansions of the Lord
Click the picture for music

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the Mansions of the Lord.

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.

Those people ought to get jobs. I don't know how they can afford to go taking trips to all these places without working.

They are working, for someone. I'd be curious to know just who.

"Actually, they're all lawyers, including the disbarred Dad."

Why am I not surprised.
