Found this bit about a funeral for a family of a man who was serving in Iraq. The Patriot Guard was there to show their respect. The reporter stated they were there to make sure the funeral was not disrupted by anti-war protesters. The piece was written by Susan Phinney for SeattlePI.com her contact information is at the bottom of the peice. Link to story:
