OPERATION HERO ALERT:
Funeral Services for Seargent Evan Seam Parker
Counter-Protest of WBC
Wednesday, 11/2/2005*
South Haven Public School - South Haven, KS
OPERATION HERO is spreading word of a planned picket by Westboro Baptist Church
during the memorial service of Seargent Evan Seam Parker.
Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing during the
funeral service for Sgt. Evan Seam Parker on Wednesday, November 2 in South Haven, KS.
This anti-Troops/anti-war "liberal" hate group will be protesting
from 1pm - 2pm outside the High School where services are being held.
The funeral service is scheduled to begin at 2pm, so Fred and his protestors are
purposely protesting during the time when most people will be arriving for the services themselves.
Please show your support for this hero!

Email Request for Counter-Protest Support at the Funeral!
My tiny home town in KS lost one of our own, Sergeant Evan Parker, 25,
died Oct 26th from shrapnel head & neck wounds rec'd in Iraq.
We just got word today that Fred Phelps (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=fredphelps )
plans to protest the war at the funeral this Wednesday.
Do you have suggestions on how to counter &/or turn out a huge number of active & reserve troops?
Anita and the whole town are upset, just don't need to see these protesters at the funeral of her son.

Thanks

THE most importatnt PING of the day.
Far more importatnt than the "games" in DC
Help honor our fallen by spreading the word.
Off topic of this list, but I think very important.
Yes, this is the most important ping of the day. Action is required on the part of all red-blooded Americans. This is our chance to do something for our troops besides just talking about it. If I had a ping list, I'd ping everybody on it, so they could send flowers, attend the funeral, and contact others.
Thanks.
Great news!!!
Prayers for the Fallen
God Bless Our Troops
