This flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service.
Marilyn and James Frantz, Lafayette, Ind., accept the flag from the casket of their son, Spc. Matthew Frantz, 23, killed in action Jan. 20 at Hawijah, Iraq.
A half-dozen of the loonies from Topeka did show up outside the church, but so did about 60 bikers - mostly members of ABATE of Indiana and Vietnam and Gulf War vets - who would have stomped the wackos if the cops hadn't kept them separated. The wackos left about 5 minutes before I got there and, while I would have enjoyed photographing the scene, it did mean that they will get no publicity in my wife's paper. And, after all, this was about Spc. Frantz, not a bunch of evil morons who are an insult to Christianity.
