I think for any PA person watching the news today that it was an incredibly emotional day. I am sooo proud to say I live in PA today!

Hundreds gather for funeral of fallen soldier - Citizens Voice

Quote:
At least 500 people gathered this morning outside St. John the Evangelist Church on William Street in Pittston for the funeral Mass of Spc. Dale Kridlo.

All of these people showed up today to block the Westboro church protesters from access to Spc Kridlo's funeral and to honor him for his service.

Yep...Mom was there

She said it was incredibly emotional...and inspirational.
I wish I could have been there...but I was definitely there in spirit

I was watching the news and work and crying. All those people took the time out of their day to protect that family. It's just incredible.

Good for them, I hope other communities start doing the same thing!

I agree. Those Westboro Baptist people are despicable.

That would be very moving, and the community should be proud!

The WB were supposed to show up at a funeral in MI and never did(thankfully) but the police protection that had to be paid still had to show up. They are scheduled to picket in Dearborn tomorrow, another chunk of tax dollars wasted to keep the peace.
There have been motorcycle groups that have blocked them at many services.

Hm, wouldn't have to pay me to show up and tell them (WB) where to go!

Westboro is just pathetic. Its awesome to see people DO care and have respect. Myamom, please tell your mom thank you for being there showing her support.
