Bradley County (Tn) Soldier killed in Iraq..
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 09:55 AM by Ghost in the Machine
My best friends son just lost a friend in battle in Iraq. I haven't been able to post this sooner because my computer has been down. While we were talking about this on friday, I mentioned to my friend about Sicko Fred Phelps and his gang of lunatics. My friend called me yesterday, in tears, and said she had heard on the news that the Phelps clan had planned to be at the funeral, which is tomorrow at 1 pm in Cleveland Tenn. I don't have the exact address to the church, but I'll find it later and post it. I know it's probably too late to get the Freedom Riders to show up.. but... I WILL be there, in the shadows, as well as several other people... and if these sick bastards show up, they are gonna be introduce to the "Cornbread Mafia".... as I like to call it... so Fred Phelps, BE WARNED! do NOT show up here if you know what's good for you.

R.I.P. Specialist David Weir

The battle for freedom in Iraq hit home this week. Flags fly at half-staff across Cleveland and Bradley County to honor the memory of Army specialist David Weir. The 24-year old solider was killed last Thursday in Baghdad in what U.S. military officials describe as a running gun battle with insurgents with alleged ties to Al-Qaeda.

Late Monday night during a telephone conversation with Bradley News, Sergeant Weir's father said the military had provided him with some limited details surrounding the circumstances of his son's death. "I was told that David went above and beyond the call of duty during the attack," said Lynn Weir.

Weir also revealed that his son's body was on its way home and could be back in Bradley County in two to four days

2. Maybe they won't come.
They were expected to come to the funeral of a boy (and he was a boy) who was killed in my hometown, also in Tennessee, and they didn't show up. This was last October. I wish I could come to show support, and I would if I wasn't starting a new job tomorrow. Phelps is dispicable.
