I live in Archer City, a small farming/ranching, oil related town that has a neighbor town about 10 miles east of us called Windthorst. That town lost a Marine last week to combat in Iraq. The soldier's dad graduated with my wife in Archer City. Everyone is heartbroken over this loss, but everyone is also very proud of this soldier and his ultimate sacrifice.

Windthorst is a small, very tight knit group of Dutch/German descent. There are no war objectors here in this area and we support all of our troops. They are are hard working, patriotic Americans who do not deserve what is about to happen. The funeral is Saturday.

We just learned that godless group of people from Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas will be here to protest his funeral. See this link:
Soldier's Funeral
Please pray for this soldier's family that God will give them strength to endure this horrible protest while going through the worst tragedy of all - a son's funeral.
