[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 511135, member: 84"] RM- husband went through the same thing when he returned from Vietnam. That is why there was a national campaign put into place to try to prevent the same thing from happening to troops returning from Desert Storm and now Afghanistan. And it [I][B]has[/B][/I] helped immensely. But you're right, I'll never figure out why in the so called name of Free Speech we allow these protestors to show up at fallen warrior funerals to disrespect those who literally gave their all in the name of our country. That is a new low I didn't think we'd sink to. Free Speech or not, phht, what about simple respect for the dead or grieving family? There were anti war protestors during WWII, but I tell you if any of them had been foolish enough to pull the stunts you see today, they'd not have survived to do it again because the public would've torn them to shreds. We had a funeral for a fallen warrior a few months ago. The local vets organized and literally guarded the funeral to prevent any would be anti war protestors from getting near it. If there were any issues, I never heard about them. But it's a sad sad day when that has to be done to lay someone to rest. [/QUOTE]
