Dead Marines Father Takes On Funeral Protesters, Then This Happens [VIDEO] When Albert Snyder lost his son in Iraq in 2006, he was sure that it was the worst thing that would ever happen to him. That is, until he arrived at his sons funeral to find that it had become the stomping ground for Westboro Baptist Church, a group known for speaking out against homosexuality. According to the group, military funerals are the best place to protest because it gives them the most media attention. Like the majority of America, Snyder finds this opportunistic disrespect disgusting, and has since dedicated his life to taking down the group. Despite threats from the church, Snyder has continued to charge on. He hopes that one day his work will pay off and military families will be able to deal with the loss of their children in peace.
