I sincerely hope there is a special place in hell for them, because they have taken to making one of the worse days imaginable for a Gold Star family THAT much worse.
First off, my condolences to you and your family. Having both sons deployed at various times, this scenario played in my brain more then a few times, but to live through it... well, I really cannot imagine.

I believe these folks do this on purpose in order to start a ruckus and then file a lawsuit hoping to collect. I believe this is how they make there money. It's an insult against the family, their departed loved one and against everything that is good and right about us as human beings and Americans. It's a testament to our belief in being law abiding citizens that these folks are still stealing oxygen. It's almost beyond comprehension.

When my oldest came back from Iraq after having lost many friends during the deployment, he passed a car on the freeway which had a support the troops sticker with the red circle around it and a line running through it. He tossed an object at the car's windshield to let the driver know his feelings on the subject. I cautioned him on this kind of action, but I really don't believe he cared much for my advice. Some things run too deep.
