Honoring Chief Warrant Officer Matthew G. Kelley

Protestors came to Cameron to protest the war. They left after a brief appearance when they could see the enormous community support. Jesh and I along with Amber and Phoglets stood along the route to the cemetary waving our flags. Jesh found a Vietnam War Veteran and shared his large flag. There were 300 Freedom Rider bikers there to escort the funeral procession and a thousand people from the surrounding counties waving flags in support along the route. Fire trucks were lined up at the police department from all the surrounding communities with their lights flashing. Jesh said he needed to see this kind of support for our troops. We live in the heartland and we appreciate the sacrifice our soldiers and their families make to provide us with our daily freedom.
