WEBMASTER SEGMENT:

Sign in an INDIANA store
front window
'WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000
AL QAEDA TERRORISTS
THAN WITH ONE SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER!'
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Whiting, Indiana.
You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement.
However, we are a society which holds freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.
And after all, it is just a sign.
You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign.
Answer:
Owen's Funeral Home
You gotta love it!!!
God Bless America
We would like to take the time to Thank ALL of our Service Men and Women...OUR MARINES, SAILORS, SOLDIERS, AIRMEN AND COASTIES for the Sacrifices they endure and have endured for the Freedoms we take for granted!
