ACTION ALERT!!!
Congressman Gilchrest has asked that I send this message out to as many people as I can to alert them to a tragic situation unfolding in Harford County this weekend.
On Saturday, the family of Petty Officer 2nd Class David Roddy, who was killed in Iraq on September 16th while trying to dismantle a bomb, will have his funeral at a church in Abingdon. We learned this week that The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas - a group of religious fanatics - plans to protest this funeral with their anti-gay, anti-military propaganda that is outrageous and disgusting. Friends of the family have asked that people come to the church to block the protesters from accomplishing their goal of disrupting the funeral.
Please come out to support this family during this terrible tragedy. Let's try and show that our love of our country, and our respect for our fallen soldiers and their families, far outweighs the hatred that festers in the ignorant.
The funeral will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at the St. Francis de Sales Church in Abingdon. We know that the protesters plan on being there at 9:15 a.m. , so we must get to that church first. Friends have suggested that we line the streets by 9 a.m. and that we carry American flags. Please don't engage or even acknowledge the protesters, as that is their goal.
DIRECTIONS: From I-95 heading South, take Exit 80/Route 543 toward Riverside. Turn left on MD 543/Creswell Road. Turn right on Philadelphia Road/MD 7. Turn right on Abingdon Road, and follow to the church, located at 1450 Abingdon Road.
DIRECTIONS from I-95 heading North, take Exit 77A/MD-24 South/Emmorton Road. Turn left onto MD-7/Philadelphia Road. Turn left onto Abingdon Road. The church is located at 1450 Abingdon Road.
