I haven't had a chance to read whole thread, so I apologize if I am duplicating something that has been posted already---
I just saw an article in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram that says that the father of a soldier that was killed in Fallujah has opened a camp for counter-protestors, called Camp Qaulls after his 20 year old son, Lance Corporal Louis Wayne Qualls, ----he also has a 16 year old son that will be enlisting when he gets old enough...
The Camp is located next to the Yellow Rose gift store. Mr. Qualls got involved when he drove up from Temple, TExas to see if there was a cross with his son's name on it...There was, and he removed it...but they put another one up...he went back and took the second, plus a few more of troops that he had been told the parents wanted their crosses taken up as well...
This is just some information I came across that ya'll might be interested in...
Sorry if its been posted...

Gary Qualls is the father's name. My husband has been interviewing him on the air for a few weeks now. He is a very nice man! He has actually had to remove his son's name cross on 3 seperate occasions now. He is friends with the individual that owns The Yellow Rose, which is the best souvenier shop in Crawford. The gentleman that owns The Yellow Rose is a personal friend of President Bush. They have created a GREAT setup in Crawford, right in front of his store, for BUSH/Troop supporters to converge. Complete with concession stands and everything!
