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.

Here is the link for arrangements: http://www.arkcity.net/obits.shtml see obituaries for 10/31/05

Thanks

Found it in another publication that is NOT forbidden to post and have posted it.

Law would curb funeral protests at soldiers funerals.

[luvie]

Thanks for responding, LE!...and thanks for getting in touch with your Baptist frinds. I can't believe Christians can act like this toward a hero!

[BykrBayb]

He may be one of yours, but he's not one of ours.

[knightshadow]

He's a phony Christian, and Baptist, who, like many in this movement, merely use the moniker to foster a facade of legitimacy while they promote their own sinister ends. The leftists strenuously trying to ruin America have no sense of decency, no ethics, no moral restraint whatever, hold nothing sacred, and will fabricate, demonize and destroy anything or anyone to facilitate the triumph of their evil agenda. Nobody should be surprised by anthing they say or do. The only mystery is that they, and their MSM bedfellows, keep fooling so many people.

[LibertyRocks]

Hi everyone! GOOD NEWS!!!

I just received the following email from the American Legion Riders:

We (Kansas Legion Riders - Patriot Guard) and other Kansas Clubs/ groups have it covered.

We are in process of coordinating this mission with local Law Enforcement and 100 + Patriots on Motorcycles that will be there to:

#1 Honor our Fallen Soldier Sgt. Evan Parker and his Family
# 2 To Shield the family and the community from the WBC idiots

Leather is our Uniform- The American Flag is our Weapon

Cregg Hansen -Kansas American Legion Dept. ALR..

HOORAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS and all others who will be attending tomorrow's counter-protest!

THANK YOU!

[luvie]

He is a sick and twisted individual, and God is going to ultimately deal with him. Until then, it is up to us as true Christians to let our military families know that we love them and honor their fallen heroes for doing the sacrificing to keep us safe! God bless them!...and God condemn the haters!

[StarCMC]

YES!!!!

I love bikers!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I'm so angry my head is splitting..
Ms.B

[knightshadow]

I am in complete accord!! I merely add that we need to have no illusions about the nature of the enemy with whom we're dealing.

[StarCMC]

See post #66!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!

[StarCMC]

WHoops - make that 65! LOL

[knightshadow]

Amen and go get 'em!

[luvie]

Nope! There are many enemies who hide in churches and try to make us think that their hate is righteous anger. It won't work! Hate is hate and needs to be exposed wherever it lurks!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Outstanding!!
Thank you so much!
Now I can stop crying over this..
Ms.B

[StarCMC]

These Phelps morons (and I AM being nice there) need to be met at every turn by people who show them how wrong they are. Period. Thank God these veterans biker groups are organized -- it makes it SO much easier to contact them and take care of something like this.


To any American Legionairres and Legion Bikers, thank you thank you thank you!!! For what you did before and what you're doing now!!!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Sure wish Mr.B and I could be there..
We are not veterans, but we love our Troops!
Ms.B

[luvie]

Thanks for the good news, LR! Praise the Lord...some good news in all of this! Thank goodness that there are good people who will step up and do what needs to be done to honor a fallen hero! Prayers answered!

[luvie]

*ping* for some good news!

[Mr. Silverback]

Kansas Freepers, scramble for intercept!

THIS IS AN "OPERATION HERO" MISSION

This message brought to you by FREEPNORAD. If anyone wants on or off this ping list, say so here or by freepmail.

[La Enchiladita]

This is indeed excellent news!

They know how to do it right, coordinating with local law enforcement and the fallen hero's family.

Bikers are alright with me, especially when they are also veterans!

Thank you, Evan Parker, for your sacrifice and God bless your soul in Heaven.
