I read Sue's blog entry about the fallen soldier's funeral procession in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago. I was not aware of the Patriot Guard's role in this and now I understand what I witnessed here that same week.
On that Sunday I was driving home from an errand and as I approached 60th & Center, there seemed to be too much activity at the intersection. I saw a police car or two and figured I'd be making my way by an accident. Then I got closer and spotted the idiots with the signs on the corner. The signs said "God hates America" and "God hates Nebraska." I wish they didn't have the right to be there.
Further down Center I saw a hundred or more ordinary people holding flags and lining the entrance to the mortuary. Their motorcycles were parked in the lot. I'm glad they were there.
I've read that the idiots do this because they say America is too accepting of gay and lesbian lifestyles and that the war deaths are a punishment. This is so absurdly wrong. The idiot's actions disgust me.

When the 189th from Wayne and Norfolk area came home, The "riders" met the busses in Columbus and escorted them back to Norfolk. We were on our way to Lincoln and met the busses south of Columbus. When we went through Columbus about 50 bikers were gathering at the station waiting for the riders. More were gathering at the park in Norfolk. They really do turn out where they are needed. Don't think there were any protesters when the came into Norfolk, but the streets were lined with welcoming people.
