Proud to live in McAlester

That may seem like an odd post title, but even Kristin would agree with me today.
Let me explain. On November 4, 2010, Sgt. Jason McCluskey of McAlester was killed by enemy gunfire in Afghanistan. The church of "idiots who hate" (the Hillsboro Baptist Church from Kansas) came to protest the funeral. The good citizens of McAlester were not having any of that, so we beat them at their own game. We excercised our right to peacefully assemble, unfortunatley for them, there were so many of us, there was no room for them - they had to gather blocks from the church, American Flags blocked them from the site of the grieving family, and anytime they tried to start a chant, Harley Davidson engines would rev, drowning them out.
Unfortunately, my Church responsibilities prevented me from being able to go, but I sent my Flags with the gals from my office (the girls, and my flags, were on the news, so I'm almost, almost famous!).
Anyway, here are some photos of the event. I sure am proud of how we handled ourselves, it was a moving experience, even if only through pictures.
God bless America. Don't tread on me.
