This is for Lt. Robert Forest Welch.  He was killed last week by a mortar in Afghanistan.  I have been his friend since we were 4 years old.  The entire city of Wylie has been wrecked by the news of his death.  We are already getting some feedback from protesters about showing up.  The Wylie Police will be there but I would like to have a little more security than that since the family of our fallen soldier will be driving back into town soon after we have finished putting the ribbons up.  Any help you can provide would be excellent.
