like what happened in Texas last year. But there are a lot of good things they do also and we often forget.


My brother Paul was killed in a motorcycle accident riding to raise money for veterans. When we got to the hospital to set with him we were met by members of his group - a Christian group that works in hospitals when any one is killed like that. We spent the weeks with them and they did all the things they could to help us. Often working with the hospital staff, comforting us, letting us talk and a lot more things. They are just another of the great groups that work as a group to do good.

I remember the Patriot Guard Riders who protect/protected funerals from the Westboro Baptist Church picketers.



I'm sorry about your brother.
