I love these folks, I could write about them weekly. If you don't already know about them please read up and be inspired.

The thought of the Westboro Baptist Church disrupting funerals with ugly hateful actions is something that I cannot fathom. The Patriot Guard Riders protect the grieving community and family as invited guests. The Riders display respect as they shield mourners from cruel interference.

True heroes.
