Matt at Blackfive has the disturbing news that Fred Phelps group plans to protest at the funeral of the first Navy SEAL to die in Iraq, Marc Allen Lee. You may remember Marc Allen Lee from a recent edition of Someone You Should Know on Pundit Review Radio.
Listen to Marc’s story and then let it sink in that fellow Americans, fellow human beings, would protest at this man’s funeral. The following message was left on the post of Marc’s Someone You Should Know. Here it is in full,
I was one of Marcâ??s instructors and believe that in the short amount of time I had to know him, I got to know him well, not best friends by anymeans but as close as the instructor/student guidlines we have to follow allow. Marc was an exceptional student, but the thing that stood out most to me was his ability to observe when things were b.s. and when things were done for honest reasons. That being said, I believe that Marc believed in the cause and ultimately in the SEAL Teams, he gave me hope for the future of the Teams and didnâ??t let me down. I wish that every student I put through training had his dedication and his ability to understand what it meant to be a part of the team. He is a hero and is already missed greatly.

Matt has more details about the kind of man Marc Allen Lee was at Blackfive, go check them out and remember him and his family in your prayers.
The word ‘outrage’ is thrown around a lot these days. I’m as guilty as anyone. However, in this case, the word is entirely appropriate. All Americans, even the Kos crowd, should be able to come together on this one.
Thank you Marc Allen Lee.
