2:47 Seriously? This funeral was highly publicized, and there was media there. Is he supposed to say "No"? What about everyone else? Why are you selecting just Lewis? I've seen plenty of pictures all over facebook of a lot of people. Go back to your basement.

Wardell was a good man. This is not about Mike or anyone else who attended. MY hats off to the Turner family. They have shown a great commitment to this country with their service. Almost the entire family has served. God Bless you in such time of sorrow.

As for those including Sheriff Lewis thank you for showing support for this great man and his family. It is ashamed more people from Wicomico County did not attend. I do not think bashing those that went fits the bill.
