Patriot Guard organizer supports Iraq War vet who lost home while overseas

Who would have thought there would be a need for a group of people to join together so they could protect a family while burying one of their own? That's why the Patriot Guard Riders started. They decided that someone needs to protect the families of the fallen from Westboro and their hate. As bad as that is, who would think that a National Guardsman would deploy overseas and lose his home? Well that's what has been happening along with families having to go on food stamps and a lot of other stories you don't hear about from 24/7 Cable news. They show up when most people don't have a clue.

As an organizer for Patriot Guard Riders, Barb Mitchell showed her support at trial every day for James Hurley, the Van Buren County man who lost his house while he served overseas with the U.S. Army National Guard.

Hurley, 45, settled his lawsuit against Deutsche Bank Trust Co. and Saxon Mortgage Services during trial in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.
