Fallen N.J. soldier faces one more battle

http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2...es_one_mo.html

Westboro Baptist Church is at it again, this time right here in Bordentown. They are planning to protest this Saturday at the funeral of U.S. Army Spc. Benjamin Moore, a Bordentown native.

Quote:
A member of the 693rd Engineer Company out of Fort Drum, N.Y., Moore, 23, was one of three soldiers killed in an IED (improvised explosive device) attack in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province on Jan. 12.

Family members say Moore, a private first class who was posthumously promoted to specialist, was driving a truck when the roadside bomb exploded.

A volunteer firefighter and certified emergency medical technician, Moore collected a slew of medals after joining the Army in April 2009, including the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.
There is a Facebook group with well over 1200 members in less than 2 days that is committed to helping to shield Moore's family and friends from the protests of WBC, and the Patriot Guard Riders will be there as well to assist.
