Today my sister & I along with my Daddy, Rachel & Cameron lined the streets to pay tribute to a young man who lost his life for our country. Sgt. TJ Butler, we did not know but when we heard that hateful church was planning on picketing his funeral, I knew the least I could do was to be a body to shield the family from their hatred that they spew . And they did show up! I don't want to give them any space on this blog but will say at one point one dressed as a vet & got in the street & started their mess & the Patriot Guards shut them down & next thing we knew he was on his knees by police & put in a mobile jail. I have to say my Dad has always taught us kids a sense of patriotism. We do live in a Great country that many take for granted & even people lives are taken away for this freedom that we breathe. Today was a very touching time. To see the horse drawn caisson & see people pack the streets from funeral home to the church to the cemetery, renewed in me that there are still some good people in this world & loves our country. Glad I took Cameron with us because it's was such a good lesson in Patriotism & made me tear up when I looked down & saw him saluting the casket & vets as they came by. Wish I had got a pic but didn't want to embarrass him because he was just doing what all the other men around him were doing. Defiantly a day I will never forget! May this young hero rest in peace.
