HARBOR BEACH, Mich. -
A Mid-Michigan soldier was laid to rest Thursday after giving his life in service to his country. Now there's some relief for family and friends of 21-year-old Army Pfc. Brian Backus as it appears a controversial church group did not protest outside the service.
The Westboro Baptist Church originally planned to picket, but apparently they failed to show up.
TV5's Liz Gelardi reported that the situation seemed like a publicity stunt and that members of the Patriot Guard motorcycle group say this has happened before when the church claimed it would show up, and then failed to do so.
